Have you ever considered flying but been put off by all the time, effort
and formality involved in flying conventional aircraft?
Today, flying a microlight aircraft is a serious alternative, and offers the flexibility of operating from farm strips or your local airfield with the minimum of fuss. It is challenging, exciting and above all fun: the nearest experience to flying like a bird.
Imagine skimming past the clouds and watching the ground slide by, you'll find the views from the air are wonderful.
Is it Safe ? - - - - - - - - - One question which always springs to mind when the word "microlight" is mentioned is: "Are these machines safe, they look very flimsy ? ".
In fact, flying a microlight is much safer than flying a light aircraft and very much safer than driving a car based on Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) accident statistics taken over a 10 year period.
Microlight aircraft are one of the strongest aircraft flying today, thanks to the use of "hi-tech" materials and stringent quality standards enforced by the CAA.
Microlights have developed over the years from very basic flying machines into extremely sophisticated, yet simple aircraft which must comply with British Civil Airworthiness Requirements, a CAA standard that not only defines the quality of the aircraft but also controls the quality and qualifications of the microlight aircraft manufacturer.
