The Gliding Day 2025

The annual highlight of the German gliding scene

The annual meeting of the gliding community

The Gliding Day is the annual meeting of the gliding community, organized by the Federal Commission for Gliding of the German Aero Club (DAeC). The event is hosted each year by a different gliding club or association. It is aimed at gliders from all over Germany and offers a unique platform for exchange, information and celebrations.

A day full of information and honors

The focus of the event is on the reports of the Federal Commission for Gliding, which provide a review of the past year and an outlook on future developments. A special highlight are the honors for deserving athletes for their achievements. Additionally, coveted training aircraft are awarded to dedicated juniors.

Knowledge transfer and industry exchange

For participants, there is a wide range of specialist lectures on topics from sport, flight safety, aviation technology, meteorology and club management. At the same time, a small trade fair takes place where exhibitors present their products and innovations.
