The Eastern Province Gliding Club is situated on the South Western side of the town of Uitenhage (South Africa) and operates from the local municipal airfield (FAUH - Latitude: 33°47' 10" South Longitude: 25° 23' 00" East. Elevation: 278 feet (84.7m)). The Eastern Province Gliding Club is a non-profit organisation dedicated to the promotion and enjoyment of soaring in the Eastern Cape, one of the nine provinces of South Africa. While our gliding club is not in anyway a commercial organisation, we do offer introductory “air experience” flights to interested visitors.

We fly an assortment of the club’s and privately owned gliders and touring motor gliders. The touring motor gliders take off under their own power while the gliders either need to be winch launched or towed by a power plane to a safe altitude. The club operates every Sunday, and only on Sundays, and flying is subject to the weather and availability of the equipment.
