About Akavlieg – Potch Gliding
Akavlieg – Potch Gliding is a glider aviation club operating from the Potchefstroom Airfield, a region known within the aviation community for its favourable thermal soaring conditions. Established to promote non-powered flight, the club utilizes both winch launching and aerotow methods to launch gliders into the atmosphere.
The airfield facilities include hangars for aircraft storage and a clubhouse equipped with briefing rooms, a kitchen, a bar, and a swimming pool, sharing the airfield ecosystem with the sailplane manufacturer Jonker Sailplanes. Akavlieg provides structured flight training through qualified instructors for individuals working toward a glider pilot license, and it hosts public open days and student aviation events to offer introductory flight experiences.
