These delightful little aircraft, boasting panoramic views from the cockpit, are perfect for brief escapades over the scenic countryside. Treat yourself to the joy of flying a microlight on a beautiful summer's day.
To kickstart your experience, your instructor will provide you with a comprehensive safety briefing.

Once prepared, you'll take to the skies in a fixed-wing aircraft resembling a miniature plane with a closed cockpit , ascending to an impressive altitude of 1,500 feet above ground level. The GS Aviation instructor will demonstrate the controls, and if they are satisfied, the control of the microlight will be entrusted to you. The entire experience will last approximately 1 hour, with a thrilling 20 minutes spent in the microlight itself.
This experience is available Monday to Saturday, subject to availability.

What did you get up to?
I have never been scared or nervous when flying in a passenger plane but this was definitely a shock to the system! I arrived at the airfield for midday and the weather was sunny but quite windy, the pilot was there waiting for me and we quickly went to the aircraft to perform the pre-flight checks. The pilot was very informative and this experience was very hands on as I performed most of the checks, these included starting the engine and contacting the radio control tower to get clearance for take-off. Once we were ready the pilot took off, from this point he let me take control of the microlight until landing, he was very calm and explained what each of the controls did, and he even pointed out the local landmarks we were passing. Overall a very nerve-racking experience but something I would definitely do again!
What did you enjoy the most?
Building up the courage to take controls and the feeling of achievement when I finally did!

Thank you very much to GS Aviation. A very friendly and organised bunch who put me at my ease straight away . Their enthusiasm for their sport/pastime is second to none and the only regret I have is that they are not close enough for me to visit/take lessons on a regular basis. Well done GSA

The flight was a surprise birthday gift and very enjoyable, if short. Luckily the weather held for the duration. The airfield had been chosen to be closest to where we live and for the scenery; I was asked what I'd like to see, and if we'd had longer could have flown over our house. We were welcomed from the moment we left the car, photos were encouraged and time given to take those, as well as refreshments in the office. The flight was enjoyable and the pilot experienced and friendly. I was 'treated' to a low swoop over the airfield on return, which went right over the heads of my waiting family, which was a nice thing to do to include them in the experience! They said the other pilots were friendly and showed them around some of the vehicles in hangars whilst they waited. I would do it again there, as it was also a pilot school and so very experienced with many various planes, but for longer duration, perhaps an hour.
