In the Northeast Region CAP, all glider operations are centralized under the command of the NER glider program, but the equipment and activities are decentralized to serve members of all the wings in NER.

Glider Activity Sites

The region is home to three glider bases:

  • Farmers Pride Airport (9N7) in Fredericksburg, PA - Aerotow

Cadet Glider Orientation Flights

Scheduling glider orientation flights is handled separately in the two divisions. See the documents below for details on how to schedule at each site.

Cadet/Senior Flight Instruction

Cadet and senior member glider flight instruction is allowed. Cadet/senior flight instruction is available by individual flight instruction coordinated through your wing project officer and/or the activity site coordinators. Cadet flight training is also available at one of NER's one-week summer glider academies.

Payment for training flights

The pilot must pay by check for the flight in accordance with the published NER Aircraft Flying Hour Rates. If a commercial tow is used, the pilot will pay the tow operator directly, not the NER.
