Who We Are
Experience the incredible buzz and excitement of flying a real aeroplane on a Microlight Trial Flight.
Far from being basic flying machines, modern day microlight aircraft are highly sophisticated, constructed using super light, yet strong materials. All our aircraft comply with the airworthiness requirements of the CAA and we currently offer flex-wing microlight flights. A microlight flight gift voucher makes a perfect gift for the more adventurous, who aspire to a challenging yet exciting and fun flying experience.Experience the freedom of the open skies with a Flex-Wing microlight flight. In our GT450, you'll capture perfectly the spirit of early aviation - open to the elements, great panoramic views and fantastically exciting handling and performance.What can I expect on the day?
All microlight experiences start with a pre-flight briefing where you will be shown the ultra light aircraft, its main characteristics and have the basic principles of flight explained - all really interesting stuff even before you've taken to the air! Once securely strapped in, the instructor will handle the take off and climb. Having settled down in level flight your pilot will demonstrate a few gentle turns - and you will then be given the opportunity to try for yourself. You might not believe us now, but you'll find it's really quite easy - yet still totally thrilling - to actually fly the aircraft yourself.
Who is it for?
This is perfect for someone who just wants to experience flying a microlight, or for those that are thinking about taking lessons and getting their licence. The minimum age for microlighting training is 14, but trial flights are available from the age of 10. Please note there is a maximum weight of 110Kg.
