Product Information
The planes that most of us travel in are so big you hardly even know that you're in the air. Well, things couldn't be more different flying in a microlight. In fact a trip on one of these nippy, lightweight little flying machines is about as close as you can get to being a bird. It's an exhilarating experience - and one which needs strong nerves and a real head for heights! You'll start off with a short briefing from your instructor, before hopping into your microlight. There are two types of microlight: 'flex wing', based on the frame of a hang glider; or 'fixed wing', which is similar to a conventional light aircraft. They all have dual controls, so you're in safe hands at all times. You'll be impressed by the speed and manoeuvrability of this little craft and your instructor will encourage you to have a go at the controls yourself (we don't reckon you'll need much encouragement). If you get a taste for it, your flying time can count towards a microlight Private Pilot's Licence.

[ Extended Microlight Flying : £145.00 ]

Product Information
If we were meant to fly, we'd have wings. We've got the Wright brothers to thank for the alternative - light aircraft. With this experience you'll get to fly a plane yourself - fantastic fun whether you're trying it as a one-off, or taking your first steps towards a Private Pilot's Licence. Your experience starts with your feet firmly on the ground, with a briefing about flying techniques and safety. Then climb aboard your two or four seater training plane with a fully-qualified instructor. Each venue flies different craft but, with famous names from Cessna to Piper on the cockpit, you can be confident you're piloting the 'sports cars' of the aeronautical world. Then it's chocks away for your 60 minute flight, during which time (at the pilot's discretion) you can take the flight controls and experience the absolute joy of flying a plane. The feeling of control is brilliant, not to mention the breathtaking views... you'll never look at planet Earth in quite the same way again.
