If we were meant to fly, we'd have wings. We've got the Wright brothers to thank for the alternative - light aircraft. With this experience you'll get to fly a plane yourself - fantastic fun whether you're trying it as a one-off, or taking your first steps towards a Private Pilot's Licence. Your experience starts with your feet firmly on the ground, with a briefing about flying techniques and safety. Then climb aboard your dual-controlled two-seater training plane with a fully-qualified instructor. Then it's chocks away for your 30 minute flight, during which time (at the pilot's discretion) you can take the flight controls and experience the absolute joy of flying a plane. The feeling of control is brilliant, not to mention the breathtaking views... you'll never look at planet Earth in quite the same way again. There is also a fascinating aviation museum here, featuring a selection of modern and classic jet aircraft. Click Here for More Details...

Microlighting perfectly captures the spirit of early aviation - pioneering, thrilling and a touch eccentric. These quirky little aircraft, with their panoramic views from the cockpit, are ideal for short trips over the countryside. Click Here for More Details...

The planes that most of us travel in are so big you hardly even know that you're in the air - well, things couldn't be more different flying in a microlight. In fact, a trip on one of these nippy, lightweight little flying machines is about as close as you can get to being a bird. It's an exhilarating experience - and one which needs strong nerves and a real head for heights! You'll start off with a short briefing from your instructor, before hopping into your microlight. There are two types of microlight: 'flex wing', based on the frame of a hang glider; or 'fixed wing', which is similar to a conventional light aircraft. They all have dual controls, so you're in safe hands at all times. You'll be impressed by the speed and manoeuvrability of these little craft, and your instructor will encourage you to have a go at the controls yourself (we don't reckon you'll need much encouragement). If you get a taste for it, your flying time can count towards a microlight Private Pilot's Licence. Click Here for More Details...

Enjoy the fun sensation of flying like a bird, taking off, turning and climbing to cruise height. After a briefing with your instructor, you will take off and climb to over 1,000 feet.

This back-to-basics experience will make you feel like you've travelled back in time to the pioneer days of flying. Your flight may be in an open or closed cockpit Microlight. Includes a safety briefing and familiarisation with controls, training from an experienced instructor and a flight of up 30 minutes with the opportunity to take the controls.

There are manoeuvres that a Gyroplane can do that other aircraft must not do, though they share the same basic controls as a fixed wing aeroplane - stick, throttle, and rudder pedals - Gyroplanes have significant differences.
