Segelflug-Leistungszentrum Oerlinghausen

Segelflug-Leistungszentrum Oerlinghausen is based at the Oerlinghausen airfield in Oerlinghausen, North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany. The site is directly at the Teutoburg Forest and is a well-known gliding center in the region. The school’s contact address is Robert-Kronfeld-Str. 11, 33813 Oerlinghausen.

The Leistungszentrum focuses on glider flying and competition-oriented training. Its website says it supports pilots with training and competitions, and the broader Oerlinghausen gliding school offers gliding theory courses and radio communication training such as BZF II and BZF I. In addition, Oerlinghausen is active throughout the season with weekday school operations and weekend club flying.

Publicly available pricing from the Oerlinghausen gliding school shows a daily fee of 60.00 EUR, with glider flight minutes billed by aircraft type, plus launch fees such as 14.00 EUR for winch launch and 50.00 EUR for aerotow to 400 m GND at EDLO. Theory and radio courses are also listed separately, for example 300.00 EUR for the glider theory course and 220.00 EUR for BZF II instruction. For the most current pricing, it is best to check the school directly, since fees can change.

The available information only shows German as a training language. If you need instruction in another language, you should contact the school directly to ask whether support can be arranged.

The website highlights performance flying, season-long gliding, and training for competitions. It also promotes training camps and coach-related courses, including a Streckenflugcamp and trainer development sessions. This makes the center more focused on advanced gliding and competition preparation than on basic recreational flying alone.
