What's the difference between a flex wing and a fixed wing microlight?
The fuselage of a flex wing microlight looks like a trike (and to look at it, you'd think it'd never get off the ground!) with a hang glider-style horizontal bar and the huge wingspan of the foldable wing above your head. A fixed-wing microlight has a fully enclosed cockpit and the pilot uses the rudder, ailerons and elevator to control pitch, yaw and roll using a control stick.
Do fixed wing microlights look like planes?
They look just like your typical light aircraft (the sort of ones you go in on a trial flying lesson ), with the difference being they are much lighter.
Where's the engine on a flex wing microlight?
The engine is behind the pilot on your typical flex wing microlight like the Quik from P&M aviation. That means you get incredible all-round vision in an open-cockpit microlight, as there's no engine or propellor blade to get in the way. On a fixed wing, the engine is in front of you, with the propellor on the nose of the plane.
Will my microlight experience actually be a lesson?
Yes! All microlight flights are offered as trial lessons. You can be as hands-on as you like, or if you prefer, sit back and enjoy the views. It's your flight time, so it's up to you, but most people do like to have at least a little go at the controls!
Are there any restrictions for microlight flights?
Each operator has its own rules, but in general, you need to be at least 14 years old, maximum height of 6ft and maximum weight is 15 stone. Please see each individual page under the 'Suitable for' tab for full details, or get in touch with us by email, chat or 01959 578100.
How fast can a microlight fly?
To be a microlight, the aircraft has to have a slow cruising speed of 35knots or less. Having said that, maximum speeds are constantly on the increase, with some of the newest fixed wing models like the Ikarus capable of 150mph. On average, a flex wing can fly between 50 and 80mph.
Do you need a licence to fly a microlight?
If you want to fly a microlight solo yes, you have to have a pilot's licence. For microlighters it's called the National Private Pilot's Licence Microlight rating - or the NPPL(M). For these experiences there is no need for a licence (or for you to be enrolled on a training programme with the school) as your experience is a taster lesson. If you carry on with microlighting lessons, these tasters may count to your flying time log book.
Are your schools members of a microlight association?
Yes. Nearly all are part of the British Microlight Aircraft Association (BMAA). The association promotes microlighting in the UK and is the voice of the sport in this country. All pilot instructors operating these trial lessons are highly experienced pilots with lots of hours of microlight teaching under their belts.
Where can I fly in a microlight experience near me?
As you don't need a huge tarmac runway to take off in a microlight (a small grass air strip will do!) we have lots of small, independent microlight operators around the country who are more than ready to give you your first taste of microlighting, be it in a fixed or flex wing aircraft. Current locations include:
- Bedfordshire
- Kent
- Lancashire
- Somerset
- Hertfordshire
- Derbyshire
- Grimsby
- Northumbria
- North London
- Cambridgeshire
- Scotland - Perth
- Scotland - Kinross

Should I buy this experience?
Who it's for
Flex-wing microlight flights are great for adventurous types, as they take you back to those pioneering days of aviation. You will experience open-cockpit flying, where you can feel the wind on your face and the sensation of flight completely open to the elements. If you're not brave enough for that, try fixed wing microlighting, where you'll fly in a closed-cockpit, ultra light aircraft.
Who it's not for
Remember, if you don't like the idea of the open sides on the flex-wing microlight, try fixed wing microlighting instead, as they look and fly just like a standard light aircraft. If you're scared of flying full stop, these microlight flights probably won't be for you, so perhaps something from our driving experiences section will catch your eye instead
