Texas Soaring Series TXSS
We are excited to welcome you to the 2026 Texas XC Soaring Series — and to another great
year of flying, exploring, and sharing the incredible soaring opportunities Texas has to offer.
This Series was created by pilots, for pilots, with a simple goal: make it easier and more
welcoming for glider pilots to visit, fly, and soar with clubs across Texas. Whether you’re
chasing cross-country miles, flying structured tasks, or just looking for a reason to pull the
trailer to a new field and meet new friends, the Texas XC Soaring Series is here to help make
that happen.
By participating, eligible pilots can visit and fly with participating Texas soaring clubs as a
Temporary Club Member, enjoying club member rates for tows and rentals (where available),
while respecting each Host Club’s local rules, safety practices, and operating culture.
The 2026 Series runs from March 1 through December 31, 2026, and includes scheduled
events hosted by clubs around the state, with scoring managed through WeGlide. A one-time
$30 Series fee helps support the program and unlocks access to all participating clubs for the
season.
As with any good soaring operation, safety, courtesy, and good airmanship come first. All
pilots are expected to:
• Be current SSA member
• Follow FAA regulations and Host Club rules
• Complete required checkouts and briefings
• Log flights accurately in WeGlide
• Fly safely and responsibly, representing the soaring community well
Please be sure to review the Texas XC Soaring Series – Program Rules and Terms document
carefully. It outlines eligibility requirements, Host Club commitments, scoring, insurance
considerations, and administrative details so everyone knows what to expect and can focus
on what really matters — great soaring days and good company.
Most of all, this Series is about community. It’s about welcoming visiting pilots, sharing local
knowledge, helping each other on launch, swapping stories after flying, and strengthening the
bonds between Texas soaring clubs.
