Our best value
microlighting lessons
available nationwide! We
are offering 20 30 and
60-minute microlight
experiences departing
from airfields across the
country. Your voucher is
valid for all locations
currently listed making
these microlight lessons
our most flexible too.
All microlight
experiences start with a
pre-flight briefing where
you will be shown around
the aircraft. The main
characteristic is that it
is really light (to be
classed as a microlight
it has to weigh less than
450kg). The basic
principles of flight will
also be explained - all
fascinating 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 into
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 microlight
yourself. Microlight

Can microlights fly over
Snowdonia National Park?
Yes they certainly can!
We are offering a range
of great value for money
microlight flights from
Caernarfon Airport for
you to discover this most
stunning part of North
Wales. You will be flying
in a flex-wing
microlight. These are the
ultralight trike aircraft
with a hang-glider style
high wing where you use
weight shift to control
the microlight. And
whilst at first glance
they make look small and
rather flimsy they are
actually really stable in
the air. And in fact the
first solo round the
world microlight trip was
in a Mainair Blade just
like this one! On these
trips you'll have plenty
of time on your
microlight flight to
explore the expanse that
is the Snowdonia. Every
day is different here
with the mountain peaks
constantly changing
colour with the light and
the seasons. And of
course being so close to
the Straits and the Irish
sea you get some fabulous
coastline views too.
You'll be sitting behind
the pilot in the raised
rear passenger seat of
this tandem microlight.
Fully strapped in you'll
be ready for take off and
ready to take in those
amazing views. As it is
all open to the elements
you'll be wearing a
flying suit and be kitted
out with a helmet which
has an integrated comms
system so you can and
your pilot can talk. Your
pilot is Keith. A highly
experienced aviator this
Welshman is
understandably proud of
his rather special
'backyard' that is
Snowdonia. He also loves
flying his microlight and
being able to combine
such breathtaking views
with flying is pretty
much living the dream.
These experiences give
you the chance to get a
little taste of all that.
We are offering 30 45 and
60-minute flights in
Keith's microlights above
Snowdonia all year round.
The minimum age for these
flights is just 14 which
is an brilliant
opportunity for any
youngster to get
airborne. And of course
all ages will enjoy the
incredible mix of
mountains and beaches all
rolled into one wonderful
microlight flight.

Enjoy microlighting in
Camberley flying out of
Blackbushe Airport! This
is your chance to
experience flying in a
modern lights sports
aircraft with an expert
pilot at the helm. You'll
even get the chance to
have a go at the controls
yourself during your
flight. This microlight
training school in
Camberley at Blackbushe
General Aviation Airport
is headed up by Eric who
is a highly experienced
pilot. He literally has
thousands of flying hours
under his belt having
flown light aircraft hang
gliders and microlights
in the UK and South
Africa. Eric loves
nothing more than taking
guests up for their first
taste of microlighting
from Camberley. You'll be
flying in the school's
Aerospool WT9 Dynamic
which is a
high-performance low-wing
microlight with a
fully-enclosed cockpit.
This low-wing aircraft
offers excellent
visibility thanks to the
bubble canopy and inside
it's a side-by-side
configuration. This is
great as it means that
you can observe what the
pilot is doing at all
times. As the WT9 is
dual-controlled you too
will be sitting in front
of your own control
column. That means that
once you're airborne and
flying straight and level
it could very well be
your turn at the
controls. And we have to
say there's nothing quite
like the moment you first
flew a microlight. This
is actually you at the
helm as you cruise over
the Surrey countryside.
Pretty amazing stuff eh?
Of course there's a lot
to learn if you want to
actually become a
microlight pilot but
these experiences in
Camberley do count
towards your training log
book. And even if you
have no ambitions on that
front actually flying
this sporty little
aircraft on your very
first sortie is totally
thrilling. We are
offering 30 and 60-minute
flights out of the lovely
Blackbushe Airport.
Well-situated near the M3
and easily accessible
from the likes of
Farnborough Bracknell
Basingstoke and beyond
microlighting with this
Camberley-based operator
is a great choice to get
you airborne in a superb
little plane.

microlights come in all
shapes and sizes! We are
offering 30 and 60-minute
flights in modern light
sports aircraft out of
Mid-Wales Airport in
Powys at this small and
friendly microlight

two different types of

cross country touring
flight from Headcorn and
enjoy the wonderful
vistas in a fabulous
light sports aircraft.
You'll be flying in a
modern lights sports
aircraft such as the
Ikarus C42. They might
look like your typical
small aircraft but
technically-speaking
they're still microlights
- it's just all been
stepped up a gear and
they're now called light
sport aircraft to reflect
the comfort and
performance of these
aircraft. That's also why
this training centre can
offer the Mile High
Experience. These light
sports machines are
easily capable of
reaching the magic
altitude of 5280ft. Once
you're a whole mile above
the Kentish countryside

world up there where the
airliners heading for
Gatwick fly so don't be
surprised if you see the
odd 737 or A320 flying
over your head! If you
want to see the best bits
of Kent from the air we
can highly recommend the
Kent Castles Flight.
Taking off from Headcorn
you're never very far
from a nice castle. On
this well-planned
circular tour your flight
path will take you over
not one but three of the
best castles in Kent.
Soar over Leeds Castle
known as the loveliest
castle in Kent Bodiam
Castle with it's good
looks and impressive moat
and Dover Castle standing
proud in its imposing
position over that busy
port. We can also highly
recommend the landaway
experience especially if
you're into aviation and
want to immerse yourself
in the protocols of
flying. You take off from
Headcorn join the air
traffic control circuit

airfield procedures to

for a cuppa and a chat
before taking off again
to head back to base at
Headcorn. Whichever
experience you choose

sports aircraft from
Headcorn is going to give
you the very best views
of the Kentish
countryside and
coastline. And what's
more if you're up for it
you will be able to have

Since

coastline from the air! A
new dimension opens up
when you soar over this
lovely corner of Perth
and Kinross in an agile
little microlight.Prepare
yourself for perfect
panoramas with these
microlight flights.
Taking off from Balado
Park (perhaps you knew it
as the home of 'T in the
Park' for many years?)
within literally seconds
you have amazing things
to to look. There's the
former satellite ground
station right at the
heart of the airfield the
original war time hangers
and control tower whilst
on the horizon you'll see
the likes of Loch Leven
and the Lomond Hills.It's
little wonder then that
the team here at Kinross
recommends you bring a
camera along with you for
your flight. You get an
excellent viewpoint from
the cockpit of a
microlight so it's
possible to take some
great snaps as you fly -
brilliant if you live in
the Perth and Kinross as
it's rare to see it all
from above!It's a small
and friendly crew here at
Balado Park. The
academy's offices are in
the restored control
tower and there's a warm
and welcoming pilot's
lounge where the kettle
is always on for a brew.
Friends and family will
love it too as they can
climb the exterior steps
to the viewing platform
at the top of the tower
to look out across the
whole airfield -ideal for
watching your take off
and landing.Before you
head out to the apron
you'll be kitted out with
a headset a flying suit
and given gloves if it's
going to be a bit chilly
up there even if the
microlights based at
Kinross do have closed
cockpits as the weather
several thousand feet
heigh can be very
different to on the
ground at the same
moment.During the
pre-flight briefing
you'll chat about safety
and what you're hoping to
get out of your flight;
that's to say whether you
want it to take the form
of an actual lesson or
you want to fly over a
specific area so you can
see it from the air.We

Fun flexwing
microlighting near
Nottingham! occupying a
discrete little flying
field not far from
Ilkeston this is a great
place to go
microlighting. And
there's none of that
enclosed cockpit business
going on here this is
grass roots flex-wing
open- cockpit aviation at
its very best! With big
cities like Nottingham
Derby and bustling
Ilkeston town all nearby
you'd be forgiven for
thinking this airfield
was in the middle of a
build-up area. But it's
not. This is where the
industrial heritage of
the East Midlands meets
the tranquility of the
Derbyshire Dales. It's a
true lovely part of the
country and very much
merits being flown over
in a microlight. These
ultralight planes are
superb for exploring town
and countryside. They're
small and light so don't
need much of a runway to
take off. They have a
pleasant cruise speed of
around 80mph and with a
full tank of fuel you can
go for around 300 miles.
They're the most
economical way to get
airborne and a great way
to really get to see the
highlights of Derbyshire
and Nottinghamshire in a
very short space of time
when you fly out of
Ilkeston. All that means
you can get longer in the
air in a microlight for
the price of a shorter
lesson in a traditional
light aircraft. This
operator does offer a 30
minute flight and it's
highly recommended for
those of you who just
want to dip your toes
into this whirly world of
open-cockpit
tricycle-style
microlighting. You stay
local perhaps seeing
Shipley Country Park the
golf course at Morley
Hayes and beyond Ilkeston
centre to the snaking
traffic on the M1. The
more adventurous amongst
you will love the 60
minute microlight flight.
Setting off from this
airstrip at West Hallam
near Ilkeston means
you're in the air long
enough to do Carsington
Water to the west or
perhaps follow the River
Derwent to the north and
even lovely Chatsworth
House and estate. On the
90-minute itinerary
you'll be treated to a
flight path filled with
fabulous things to see
from the Tors of the Hope
Valley to those iconic
towers of the Derwent
'Dam Busters' Dam and
lots more. Take those
brilliant things to see
from the air combine that
with the thrill of flying
in an open-cockpit
flexed-wing aircraft and
you've lined yourself up
some magnificent

Nottingham. You might
even get to have a go at
the controls whilst you
up there!

Go microlighting in East
Anglia! Based at Beccles
Airfield on the Norfolk
and Suffolk border this
small and friendly flying
school is a joy to visit
surrounded by quiet
countryside and lots of
unrestricted airspace.
Known locally as Ellough
Airfield Beccles was
built as an RAF station
in the Second World War
being occupied by RAF
Bomber and Coastal
Command. And in fact
Beccles was used as an
air sea rescue post until
its closure in 1945. It
all went quiet in this
tranquil corner of East
Anglia until 1965 when
Beccles became a heliport
for North Sea oil
operations. Since then
the General Aviation
activities that include
helicopters light
aircraft parachuting and
now microlighting has
kept Beccles Aerodrome
busy. For your
microlighting lesson
there are two
(technically speaking)
very similar aircraft
available. Both come in
at under 450kg so are
classed as microlights.
Both have the same size
engine and both seat two
people. But take one look

Introducing the Sherwood
Ranger - a sporting
biplane like no other!
This wonderfully
retro-styled aircraft
looks just like the
vintage biplanes of old
yet it's brand new and
built with all modern
technology and materials.
This is your chance to
experience this amazing
Sherwood biplane for
yourself. At first glance
the Sherwood Ranger looks
like your typical vintage
two seater tail-dragger
biplane. Look more
closely and you'll soon
see this is totally new
plane - and it's a
microlight! Yep
incredibly this aircraft
is officially classed as
microlight as even with
two passengers onboard it
still comes in under the
450kg weight limit. Hats
off to the designers and
manufacturers on this.
Who'd have thought you
could construct an
airworthy modern biplane
in such a way? It's all
down to the choice of
materials. Sherwood
Rangers boast an
aluminium tube frame with
wood and fabric making it
light and agile in
flight. And you will be
finding all this out for
yourself with these very
special Sherwood biplane
experiences which include
the opportunity to take
the controls too. Unique
to Membury Airfield this
is the only place in the
UK currently offering
flights in these
fantastic modern
biplanes. They are truly
superb to fly in. With
that open-cockpit feel
and the wind whistling
through the wing struts
it's like being back in a
bygone age of aviation
but without all the hefty
restoration costs! One
other huge advantage over
traditional biplanes is
the fact that the
Sherwood Ranger has a
totally modern control
system designed to handle
with precision. Pitch is
controlled by the tail
elevator yaw by the
fin-mounted rudder and
roll by the four ailerons
and it's all driven by a
modern power unit
offering an incredible
power to weight ratio.
Depending on the model
the Rangers can easily
cruise at 75mph with
single seaters boasting a
climb rate of 1450ft/min.
British-based
manufacturers The Light
Aircraft Company lovingly
hand-builds every single
Sherwood Ranger. The aim
(and we"e) is to
'create quality aircraft
that incorporate safety
performance style and
value for money using
innovative production
methods materials and
design'. We think they've
certainly done just that
with the brilliant
two-seat Sherwood Ranger
so book your flight now
for a modern all together
lighter take on biplane
flying!

Microlighting in County
Durham - an irresistible
combination of wonderful
sights to see from the
air a private airfield
that's never too busy and
a wonderful little
aircraft to fly in!
Whether it's your first
time ever in small plane
and you fancy a taster or
you want to indulge in an
extended experience we've
got the lesson for
you.This microlighting
school is based at
Shotton Airfield. The
farm airstrip is a true
hidden gem for aviators
in County Durham. It's
easily accessible from
all over Tyneside and
Teesside being just 10
miles east of Durham city
centre. Despite it's
central location it's
unrestricted air space
around Shotton so it's a
great place to get
airborne with very little
other aerial traffic.
Shotton has served as a
drop zone for a local
parachute school since
1987 and this microlight
school is a welcome
addition to the flying
community here in this
quiet corner of County
Durham and this operator
flies microlights from
sunrise to sunset seven
days a week. So now you
know a little bit more
about this air strip
between Durham and
Hartlepool what about the
microlights? This centre
uses the funky little
Flight Design CT - a
popular trainer and
touring microlight that
looks just like your
usual light aircraft
except that being so
light means you can cover
500 miles or more with
one tank of fuel. They
are also incredibly easy
to fly. Our Co Durham
crew has most definitely
put safety first as well
by investing in onboard
systems such as the
digital avionics system
(a modern alternative to
dials and gauges) the
large screen colour GPS
transponders and even a
Ballistic Recovery System
which is basically a
parachute for the whole
aircraft! Whilst this all
makes it sound quite
high-tech none of it
takes away from the pilot
experience. This
closed-cockpit style
microlight is still
highly interactive
intuitive and a real
pleasure to fly. No
wonder the National
Private Pilot's Licence
with microlight class
rating is the most
popular form of licence
not just in Co Durham but
the whole of the UK. We
have several ways to go
microlighting over County
Durham. Dip your toe in
the fascinating world of
general aviation with a
30 minute trial lesson
take a longer flight path
with a 60 or 90 minute
flight or head way beyond
Durham with a flyway
experience that sees you
touch down at a friendly
airport with time for a
break before heading back
to base at Shotton
Airfield.
