Microlight trial lesson

A one hour introduction to the freedom of flight in a Flex-wing microlight. Includes pre-flight briefing and optional DVD of the flight. Don’t forget your camera. During the flight there will be plenty of opportunity to take the controls.

From Dunkeswell in Devon, valid 12 months, 1 participant.

What's included

After a warm welcome from your instructor and a short briefing you'll be airborne on a wild ride through the skies above the beautiful Devon countryside or down to the magnificent south coast, soaring with the birds. Subject to local restrictions the choice is yours.

You will be flying in a modern Flexwing Microlight. Flexwing microlights are derived from the hang glider and although flexwing technology has progressed far and very quickly, it still has that increasingly rare pioneering feel about it. The aircraft consists of a moveable wing that pivots on the 'trike' unit so that wherever the weight of the trike is put, the aircraft will roll or pitch in that direction. These inputs are made via a single horizontal bar in front of the pilot . The flexwing has a more 'open to the elements' feel than a fixed wing and is much simpler in construction.

During your trial flight, you'll be given the opportunity to take the controls and fly the aircraft yourself (under the watchful eye of your CAA qualified instructor) but it's by no means obligatory.

You'll also be allowed to take a camera with you to capture your flight.
Or, if you prefer, we can capture the whole flight including sound on DVD and send this to you in the post within one week of your flight. This is available as an option on the day, please advise your pilot if you would like to take advantage of this facility.
