Description

Perfect for any high flyer, this flexi wing microlight flying experience provides a great introduction to the world of open-cockpit aviation. Following a pre-flight safety briefing, hop into the microlight with a fully qualified instructor and prepare for a thrilling ride. Once airborne, soak in some exceptional panoramic views of the East Yorkshire coast whilst your trusty pilot effortlessly guides the craft through the clouds. During the flight (at the pilot’s discretion), the controls are handed over so you can experience the unique sensation of microlight aviation first-hand. For those with the flying bug, this flight time can count towards a Microlight Private Pilot’s Licence.
