Microlight aircraft can trace their origins back to the late 1970's when hang glider pilots took the seemingly logical step of fitting small engines to their craft. Taking aviation into uncharted areas meant that knowledge and skill could only be learned "hands on" in the air. This meant that powered hang glider flying was certainly exciting - and sometimes downright dangerous! No design controls or licensing regulations whatsoever meant that the most unlikely craft became airborne. With the pioneering days now over, today's microlight aircraft are faster, safer, more comfortable and certainly easier to fly than ever before.
The lesson begins with a briefing from your instructor. This will be in either a flex-wing (open cockpit) or fixed-wing (closed cockpit - similar to a mini plane) aircraft, if you have a preference you must state this at the time of booking. Then you will take to the skies, where you can either sit back and enjoy the views or if the instructor is happy you may have the opportunity to take the controls of the aircraft.
This experience is available Monday to Sunday, throughout the year, subject to availability.

The maximum weight is 110kg (17st). The flight is not suitable for those who suffer from epilepsy, fits, severe head injuries, recurrent fainting, giddiness or blackouts. If in doubt please consult your doctor.
