Introductory Flights

In order to encourage the exploration and growth of soaring flight, CCSC makes introductory flights available to anyone, especially those who may be interested in becoming a member. If you are interested in experiencing soaring, or know someone who is, we welcome you to give it a try. You can join a us at our field located at 5385 Elbon Road, Waynesville OH 45068-0918.

ASK-21 in the clouds

Gift Certificates are available for the ride. It is $160 for an introductory flight which gets you a tow to 3000 feet above the ground and a flight that lasts up to 30 minutes.
(Note that pricing is subject to change without notice)

You may purchase a Gift Certificate or Flight in person at the club any Saturday, Sunday, or sometimes on Wednesday. You can also get a certificate on online using the payment link below.  Picking ‘PAYPAL’ allows you to pay with PayPal, a Debit Card, or a Credit Card. You can also request that the certificate be mailed to you.

When you show up at our field for the introductory flight, it is best to do so between the hours of 11AM and 2PM. This will give you the opportunity to make sure you get a spot on the schedule. We try our best to get introductory rides up in the air as quick as possible, but sometimes due to various factors it can be up to a few hours wait. You usually can have a good time sitting at our picnic tables and watching our operations up close. Bringing a snack may also be a good idea. We provide water and shade.

Should you have any questions, the better option to contact us is via email at ccsc@nullsoarccsc.com. You can try to contact us on our general phone at 513-932-7627 and leave a voice mail, but we are usually out flying and the answering machine can be fickle.

Please Note: CCSC only accepts our own Gift Certificates. We do NOT participate in the Soaring Society of America (SSA) Fly A Sailplane Today (FAST) program.

There are two types of two-place sailplanes available for your introductory ride, either a Schleicher ASK-21 or a Schweizer SGS 2-33. You can check out Our Fleet page to see the two place sailplanes we use. Which type of sailplane you get for your introductory flight is determined by availability and is allocated at the discretion of the Crew Chief. The person taking the introductory flight cannot weigh more than 242 pounds.

All passengers will be required to sign our Limited Membership Application and Waiver. If that individual is a minor, they will also be required to obtain a parental signature or equivalent.
