Flying a microlight is an exhilarating experience, and one which needs strong nerves and a real head for heights! Begin with a short briefing from a qualified instructor, before hopping into a microlight, which there are two types of, both dual-controlled. The 'flex wing' is based on the frame of a hang glider; or 'fixed wing', which is similar to a conventional light aircraft. Once airborne, experience the incredible speed and manoeuvrability of these little craft, with the instructor on hand to offer guidance and encouragement to participants to take over the controls and assume the role of honorary pilot. This flight time can also count towards a microlight Private Pilot's Licence.
