Description

Enjoy the unique sensation of flexi wing microlight aviation with this exhilarating 60 minute flying experience based in Hull. Begin on solid ground with a detailed pre-flight briefing before hopping into the cockpit of the microlight with a fully qualified pilot to get ready for the ride ahead. Once in the sky, take in the sensational bird’s-eye views of the East Yorkshire coast whilst the pilot navigates the microlight through the air. During the flight (at the discretion of the pilot), take over the reins to experience the unrivalled joys of open-cockpit aviation first-hand. For those who catch the flying bug, this flight time can count towards a Microlight Private Pilot’s Licence.
