Your Experience
Step into the pilot’s seat with the Microlighting 60 Minutes - UK wide experience and discover the joy of flying one of the most exciting aircraft around.
Microlights are lightweight, open-cockpit planes that bring back the magic of early aviation, offering an unmatched feeling of freedom above the beautiful UK countryside.
Your adventure begins with a thorough pre-flight briefing led by a qualified instructor, who will guide you through safety procedures and how to handle the controls. Once ready, you’ll take off and pilot the microlight yourself, soaring through the air and taking in breath-taking panoramic views that few get to experience.
After a smooth landing, you’ll receive a debrief to reflect on your flight and a certificate to commemorate your achievement.
As with all flying experiences, your flight will depend on suitable weather conditions. A weather check line is available the day before or the morning of your flight, and if needed, your booking can be rescheduled to ensure the best possible conditions.
Take control, enjoy the ride and make memories that last a lifetime!
