Segelflug-Club Stiftland e. V.

Segelflug-Club Stiftland e. V. is based at the airfield in Tirschenreuth, Germany, right on the edge of town. The club has operated there for decades and uses the local airfield for gliding activities and training.

The club offers glider pilot training with both practical and theory parts. Training is run by volunteer flight instructors and is typically split into three stages: solo flight, transition to a single-seater, and introduction to cross-country flying.

According to the club, the total cost to obtain a glider license is usually about 1,000 to 1,500 euros, including the one-time exam fees. The club provides aircraft and equipment, and reduced rates are available for students and pupils.

The club uses training gliders such as the ASK 13 and Ka 8, and also operates motor gliders like the SF 25 C Falke and the Super Dimona. These aircraft are used for training, passenger flights, and longer cross-country flights.

Segelflug-Club Stiftland e. V. is a club, not a commercial flight school. Its training is organized through volunteer instructors and club resources, which is typical for German gliding clubs.

The club’s website and training information are in German, and German is the listed language. If you want to join or ask questions, it is best to contact the club in German.
