Whether you are trying to beat the traffic, or simply want a bird's eye view of the countryside, there is no more stylish way to travel than by helicopter. The special skill and co-ordination required to fly helicopters is generally more challenging than flying fixed-wing aircraft - so you'll feel a great sense of achievement once you've mastered it!

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. This is a great way to fly on a fine summer's day! Our instructors will give you a thorough briefing and then take you on a trial flying lesson. We are sure you will end up as enthusiastic as they are! You will be given a detailed briefing from your instructor, which includes how to use dual controls, how to enter the aircraft and pre-take off checks. You then take to the sky, climbing to up to 1500 feet above ground level in a flexwing (open cockpit) or fixed wing (closed cockpit - similar to a mini plane) aircraft (please state preference at time of booking). The instructor will demonstrate the controls and then, if the instructor is happy, the controls will be passed to you. Happy flying! When can you go?Selected Monday to Sunday dates, which vary depending on the venue, all year.

'Everybody who has ever flown in a Tiger Moth has fallen in love with it' - Roald Dahl, Going Solo.

After the first experience of flying solo you will be hooked. Just imagine the feeling of knowing you have a full 45 hours of tuition so you can really get to grips with these magnificent flying machines. After this much flight time the only thing between you and your pilots licence is the exam! Location: Essex (South East)
