The World of Gliding

We want to introduce you to our multifaceted sport here soon

Booster Concepts

We want to strengthen the national and international gliding community in the long term with these measures

Broadening the horizon for juniors

An open class aircraft for German juniors

The primary goal is to promote juniors in competition and high-performance cross-country gliding. The aim is to broaden the horizons of young talents by providing a high-performance glider in the open class. The sponsored pilots are to be given the opportunity to take part in training measures, national and international competitions and the DMSt.

The 'EP' promotional gliders were the result of a generous donation by Countess Lady Enid Paget, who sold her Nimbus 2 promotional glider in 1984 and purchased an LS4 for the 'EP' concept. The LS4 became a Discus which in turn became a Nimbus 4. The promotional aircraft were operated by a former German Booster Club Association and the national German aeroclub DAeC. From 2025, the promotional aircraft will continue to be operated in the form of a Nimbus 4T by the Förderverein Segelflug e.V.

Platform

Your compass for Gliding

In the past, the website 'segelflug.de' was the most important information platform for glider pilots, where a wealth of information about our sport was collected. It is also the aim of the association to rebuild this important component for us. 

The foundation stone for this has been laid, but we ask for your understanding that we run the platform on a voluntary basis. It will therefore take some time before we can add new content bit by bit.  At the same time, we would like to encourage you to support us in building this platform. If you have ideas for important content, please contact us! 

Classifieds

The most active marketplace for the sale of gliders and accessories

The classifieds of Segelflug.de are established in the international gliding community as the most active marketplace for the sale of gliders and accessories and are used intensively. The activation, monitoring and quality assurance of the classifieds will continue to be done by a proven team that has provided this great service on Segelflug.de for many years.
 
For private sellers and clubs an ad in the classifieds is still free of charge. For a fee you still have the possibility to make your ad a premium ad. If the sale of the aircraft or items you are offering has a commercial character, you will have to pay a fee for placing the ad.

Gliding Forum

The oldest & biggest German Gliding Forum

The German Gliding Forum is not only a platform for glider pilots from German-speaking countries and beyond to exchange ideas, but also an immense repository of knowledge and expertise. In June 2023, the Gliding Forum was taken offline due to personal reasons on the part of its original operator. It seemed that the forum’s content was lost forever.

Fortunately, the team at the Association, led by our webmaster Lucas, succeeded in migrating the forum content to a new technical platform, thereby preserving it for the gliding community. In doing so, we were able to preserve both the content from the last Gliding Forum (2010–2023) and the content from the very first Gliding Forum (2000–2023).
 
Unfortunately, the active moderation team has dwindled over the years, and by the end, the burden of moderation rested on just a few shoulders. Until we find sufficient reinforcements, we would like to make the forum accessible for reading only. We ask for your understanding in this matter.
 
Currently, the forum is only accessible to registered users who have participated in the forum in the past. The activation of new forum users will take place in a subsequent step. We are also planning to highlight forum posts of particular relevance (e.g., technical tips) and transfer them to a knowledge database.

Domain's & Hosting

Your way to the WWW with "segelflug.de"
In addition to the best-known domain in gliding “segelflug.de”, the association owns rights to other domains. The association is happy to make these available to projects that want to promote gliding. Subdomains or additional domains including hosting via the “Segelflug.de” server are also possible. If you have an idea, please contact us and tell us about your project.
 
The Association is also expanding its services: Effective immediately, clubs now have the opportunity to host their websites at a low cost on our gliding server.
