Where to Fly?
Welcome to the new SSA "Where to Fly?" interactive map!
Easily find that perfect
soaring site
Perhaps
you're looking to experience the thrill of flying in a sailplane for the first
time, or perhaps you're a seasoned glider pilot looking to
explore different sites from where to fly. Either way, this interactive
map is designed to help you find that perfect soaring site.
Many locations
The map features over 140 soaring locations across the U.S.A. and more than 180 SSA
Commercial Operations and SSA Chapters.
Each location has MapQuest® directions, and where available, AirNav
airport
details.
Advanced search criteria
If you're looking for a soaring operation that will cater to a specific need then try the text-only version of "Where to Fly?". Here you can enter specific criteria that must be matched (such as cross country instruction) or perform a full text search on the soaring site description or sailplane equipment list (e.g. find all soaring operations across the USA where winch launching and a Duo-Discus sailplane are both available).

The "Where
to Fly?"
interactive map is designed to play on a wide range of systems. If you can see
the glider icon on the right, then simply click on the map image above to launch
the interactive map. Otherwise, please download the latest
