London Soaring Society

About London Soaring Society

London Soaring Society is a not-for-profit flight school and sporting club located in the Lucan area, serving the greater London area. It offers a unique aviation experience centered on glider flying, which the organization describes as one of the purest forms of aviation. The society provides several programs for those interested in soaring, including introductory flights where participants can experience a 20-30 minute ride and potentially try the controls. For those interested in learning the sport, the club offers a trial membership consisting of four instructional flights, which can be credited toward a full membership. Full membership includes glider rental, training, and a Soaring Association of Canada membership. The club also provides gift certificates and offers bursaries to help motivated youth cover per-flight costs, while the Women Soaring Pilots Association provides scholarships for female pilots. Having served the community for over 50 years, the organization is entirely run by its members on a volunteer basis. The school operates on Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays from early spring to late fall, weather permitting.
