Flex-wing flights over stunning Northumbrian coast & countryside for these thrilling & very picturesque microlight flights. ...

From the East Coast to the West Coast microlighting out of Kinross gives you the full view of Scotland's coastline from the air! A new dimension opens up when you soar over this lovely corner of Perth & Kinross in an agile little microlight. Prepare yourself for perfect panoramas with these microlight flights. Taking off from Balado Park (perhaps you knew it as the home of 'T in the Park' for many years?) within literally seconds you have amazing things to to look. There's the former satellite ground station right at the heart of the airfield the original war time hangers & control tower whilst on the horizon you'll see the likes of Loch Leven & the Lomond Hills. It's little wonder then that the team here at Kinross recommends you bring a camera along with you for your flight. You get an excellent viewpoint from the cockpit of a microlight so it's possible to take some great snaps as you fly
- brilliant if you live in the Perth & Kinross as it's rare to see it all from above! It's a small & friendly crew here at Balado Park. The academy's offices are in the restored control tower & there's a warm & welcoming pilot's lounge where the kettle is always on for a brew. Friends & family will love it too as they can climb the exterior steps to the viewing platform at the top of the tower to look out across the whole airfield -ideal for watching your take off & landing. Before you head out to the apron you'll be kitted out with a headset a flying suit & given gloves if it's going to be a bit chilly up there even if the microlights based at Kinross do have closed cockpits as the weather several thousand feet heigh can be very different to on the ground at the same moment. During the pre-flight briefing you'll chat about safety & what you're hoping to get out of your flight; that's to say whether you want it to take the form of an actual lesson or you want to fly over a specific area so you can see it from the air. We think Scotland's Balado Park is a lovely place to fly out of in a microlight. We are offering 30 minute flights. Book microlighting in Kinross & make a budding Scottish aviator very happy!

Book your flights in microlights over south Somerset! Operating out of the lovely Henstridge Airfield we are offering 30 45 & 60-minute flights as well as a landaway special to the Isle of Wight via the coast.

These microlight experiences boast quite possibly the most scenic flight paths we have on our books. There’s just so much to see from the air around this delightful corner of south Somerset. Head inland & you’ve got Longleat & the Wiltshire Hills. Fly west & you can look down on the Somerset Levels & Glastonbury Tor. Take a southerly direction & you’re soon at the Jurassic Coast.

The amazing scenery & optimal flying conditions are also what attracted Chief Flying Instructor Ian Mac Adam to set up his microlight flying school at Henstridge. Ian has been flying hang gliders & microlights since 1987 & he settled in South Somerset in 2002.

Since 2007 Ian has been a main agent for leading flex-wing microlight manufacturer P&M. If you go for the flex-wing option you’ll more than likely be taking your lesson in one of the school’s GT450 microlights. This is open-to-the-elements microlighting at its best so it’s flight suit on headset on & get ready to swoop over stunning south Somerset with excellent all-round visibility from your seat.

If you opt for a fixed-wing flight you’ll be in a closed cockpit aircraft which resembles your typical light aircraft. Admittedly it’s more comfortable & warmer in there but we can’t deny there’s something quite special about the open cockpit option!

All experiences are treated as actual lessons so you’ll follow the NPPL (M) syllabus which is the official microlight pilot’s training programme. That means you’ll learn how these machines fly how the controls work & have a go at flying yourself. If you want to get a deeper insight into these machines we can highly recommend the landaway day. You cruise along the coast & across the water to the Isle of Wight landing at a local airfield for lunch before heading back to Henstridge.

With a choice of flex or fixed wing aircraft & a full range of flight durations it’s also good to know you can fly all year round out of Henstridge Airfield. Blue skies & beaches in summer & silky smooth air with low winds in autumn & winter
- that’s the beauty of flights in microlights in south Somerset!

The sky is your new playground when you go microlighting in Manchester! Barton Aerodrome is home for microlight maestro Mark & his flexwing P&M aviation microlights. This is the premier microlighting school in the North West & being just a short hop from Manchester this centre is well-placed & easy to get to. So what are you waiting for it's time to go microlighting! Manchester/ Barton (or Manchester City Airport as it was formerly known) was purpose-built in the late 1920s & is one of the country's largest General Aviation airports. Before & after WW2 several scheduled flights operated out of City Airport & although it's more microlights & other light aircraft today the vestiges of Barton's bustling past remain with the Grade II listed control tower terminal building & hangar
- all of which you'll get to see with a front-row seat in your microlight with Mark! Mark is hugely experienced when it comes to flying these flex wing machines. When he's not zooming around th...
