What's included

There are two types of Microlight aircraft – Weight shift and 3-axis. For further details please see All about Microlights

This experience is in a 3 axis microlight. These aircraft have the same stick and rudder control as a normal aircraft, usually having an enclosed cockpit. Like traditional aircraft they have control surfaces on the wings (ailerons) and tail-plane (elevators and rudder) which can be moved in the airflow, to manoeuvre the aircraft in the air. Pilot and passenger usually sit side by side.

Microlight trial lessons are an increasingly popular way to enjoy light aviation.

Our Microlight Trial Lesson allows you to experience the thrill of flying and will even count as the first step towards your Private Pilot's Licence.

The trial lesson is preceded by a short flight briefing with our instructor who will explain all aspects of the flight including the effects of controls and how a microlight flies.

Once airborne the student will be allowed to take the controls and actually fly the aircraft!

The weather plays a very important part in all forms of flying, but Microlights are a little more susceptible to the elements than other forms, so please bear that in mind.

Contrary to popular belief, the wintertime is often the best time to fly in the UK, OK it’s cold, but we can wrap up against that. The difference is the stability of the air - cold, crisp winter days are the best although last thing on a summer's evening can be just as enjoyable.

A truly fabulous gift for anyone of any age and also a perfect introduction to flying for those who have always wanted to try flying a microlight.
