Description
Join us on one of our Microlight Flying Experiences & enjoy your first flying lesson. Take to the skies in either a flex-wing Microlight or Sports Light aircraft with one of our experienced & friendly instructors.
Airways Airsports offers several types of Microlight Flying Experiences. You can book a 20, 30 or 60-minute Trial Flight in one of our Microlight or sports light aircraft or choose a Microlight Flight Package taking you on a tour of the Peak District National Park, or even over the “Dambusters run” reservoir.
At Airways Airsports Microlight Training we offer air experience flights & microlight lessons & training courses using two different kinds of microlight – flexwing & fixed wing. A microlight is a small, light aircraft with a maximum take-off weight of under 450 kg.
Flexwing microlights have a “hang glider” shaped wing with a trike unit below, containing the engine, seats & landing gear. Flexwings are open cockpit aircraft, exposed to the elements, with either two seats (passenger seated behind the pilot) or a single seat. They are steered by the pilot moving the trike unit from side to side & forward & aft.
All our microlight instructors are highly experienced pilots & you will really enjoy your flying experience of microlighting at Airways Airsports, whether you come for a single microlight trial lesson or a full microlight course.
If you want to buy something special for a birthday or other celebration, why not treat them to a microlight experience? You can choose from a range of options among our gift vouchers
FLEX WING – SINGLE SEAT DEREGULATED & SUB 70KG
Single Seat De-Regulation (SSDR) & Sub 70kg has opened up access to many wonderful flying machines to the solo microlight pilot. There is the possibility of further cross-credit routes to a microlight licence from hang glider & paraglider power ratings.
