Narrogin is an aerotow operation which means that gliders are towed into the air by a powered aircraft called a tug. The people who fly tugs are known as tuggies.
| Our tug aircraft is a Piper Pawnee 235 with the call-sign: VH-TUG or Tango Uniform Gulf. Many Gliding Clubs have tugs, but ours is the only one whose tug is officially called TUG! |

Once you have progressed into a single seater, you will often wish to book an aircraft so
that it is guaranteed to be available on a certain day. Aircraft can be booked according to
the following rules:
Members may book any glider for cross-country or badge flights after 9pm on the preceding day.
Members must make their own booking in person at the airfield (no proxy).
Only one booking per member per weekend.
Any glider not booked by midday will become available in the following order of priority:
For second booking by a member
For local flying by members
For cross-country or badge flight by non-member
For local flying by non-member
