On a beautiful summer's day, there's no better way to take flight! Our expert instructors will provide you with a comprehensive briefing, ensuring you are fully prepared for your trial flying lesson. We are confident that you will become just as passionate about microlighting as our instructors are!
During your briefing, your GS Aviation instructor will cover everything in detail, including the proper use of dual controls, aircraft entry procedures, and pre-takeoff checks.

What did you get up to?
I have never been scared or nervous when flying in a passenger plane but this was definitely a shock to the system! I arrived at the airfield for midday and the weather was sunny but quite windy, the pilot was there waiting for me and we quickly went to the aircraft to perform the pre-flight checks. The pilot was very informative and this experience was very hands on as I performed most of the checks, these included starting the engine and contacting the radio control tower to get clearance for take-off. Once we were ready the pilot took off, from this point he let me take control of the microlight until landing, he was very calm and explained what each of the controls did, and he even pointed out the local landmarks we were passing. Overall a very nerve-racking experience but something I would definitely do again!
What did you enjoy the most?
Building up the courage to take controls and the feeling of achievement when I finally did!
