Description

A trip on one of these nippy, lightweight little microlights is about as close as it gets to being a bird. It’s a thrilling experience which requires steady nerves and a head for heights! Start with a short briefing from a qualified instructor, before hopping into a dual-controlled 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 traditional light aircraft. Get immersed in the speed and manoeuvrability of this little craft, and during the flight, the instructor will hand over the controls. If you get a taste for it, the flying time can count towards a microlight Private Pilot’s Licence.
