The Scottish Gliding Association is the body which represents the sport of gliding in Scotland. It represents the Scottish gliding clubs when dealing with the government of the UK, the Scottish government, local government in Scotland, and other statutory organisations. It is the main point of contact between the sport and sportscotland. However regulation and administration of the sport of gliding is still the responsibility of the British Gliding Association.
Formed in 1986, it has negotiated written agreements with the National Air Traffic Service on procedures for entering controlled airspace; negotiated with the Cairngorm Partnership; operated the ASH 25 Scottish National Gliding Facility; sponsored pilots for competitions and competition training; sponsored individuals for instructor and inspector training; sponsored FLARM ground stations (tracking suitably equipped gliders in flight for competitions, and (yet to be needed) rescue coordination – i.e. knowing where to start looking if the glider does not return after a cross-country flight). The ASH 25 was involved in an accident and was not replaced.
In addition it co-ordinates a programme of inter-club competitions to promote friendly rivalry between the Scottish gliding clubs, normally Highland & Scottish Gliding Centre one year, Cairngorm & Deeside the other year.
