THE BRIEFING ROOM
We welcome you here every morning at 10am for the day’s weather briefing, instructions and the allocation of the club’s gliders. Here you will find useful information to help you prepare for your flights, including details of landing fields and traffic on our airfield.
THE PILOTS’ ROOM
All our gliders’ parachutes and batteries are kept here, along with relief maps of the surrounding mountains so you can plan your flight. It also serves as a classroom where you can meet with your instructor as part of your pilot training. This room is available to clubs on training courses in Sisteron so they can carry out their own flight preparations there.
THE PEGASUS CLUBHOUSE
Fancy a quick break? The Pegasus is our clubhouse, where you can settle in for lunch or simply relax and chat with fellow pilots about your experiences and the day’s flights. Inside, you’ll find a kitchen equipped with a fridge, gas hob, microwave and crockery, as well as a seating area.
For a picnic in the sunshine, there are tables outside.
And every Wednesday evening, we invite you to an aperitif on the club’s tab for a chance to socialise and chat with everyone.
CAMPING DU VENTUS
Situated next to the airfield, Camping du Ventus welcomes you for your stay. Toilet and shower facilities are available for campers, and bungalows/chalets are available for those seeking greater comfort. A swimming pool is on hand for anyone wishing to cool off after a lovely flight.
