Air Experience Flight

The Pleasures of Microlighting

In a word, microlighting is freedom. Freedom to escape from the mundane routine of life on Terra Firma - and from the confines of conventional flying. Microlighting does not need the facilities that larger aeroplanes demand. Any fair sized field can be your aerodrome, and your garage can be your hangar. Your local petrol station is your bowser and you are at liberty to be your own aircraft's mechanic.

Why Microlights?

In the air, the views are out of this world. Skimming past the clouds, flying high, swooping down, simply unwinding and watching the ground slide by, the sense of freedom is complete. Without an enclosed cockpit and complicated control systems, you become part of the machine. It is YOU flying.

How do I fly?

Come along for an introductory flight and enjoy this fabulous experience. We can also provide flight vouchers which are ideal as a most unusual and well received gift for the more adventurous. The flight will be taken with a qualified flying instructor in a two seat craft. The controls and systems will be explained, and during the flight you may take control if conditions are suitable. We provide a helmet and intercom set for communication and a warm, insulated flying suit. The flights can be for various different lengths of time, from 20 minutes, 40 minutes or one hour and are priced at £35, £55 and £75 for the hour.
