PILOT TRAINING

Most microlight pilots will tell you that they caught the flying "bug" after a trial flight with a qualified instructor.  This section answers the questions most frequently asked by those who would like to find out more about getting their own licence to fly one of these wonderful machines....

 

How can I get a microlight pilot's licence?

You need to follow a BMAA approved training course with a qualified microlight flying instructor. For a full (unrestricted) microlight pilot's licence you must complete a minimum of 25 flying hours of dual instruction and solo flying - though it's important to emphasise that most people need a fair bit more than this before they're ready to fly safely on their own.  You also need to fly two solo cross-country flights, pass a general flying test with an approved examiner and pass five written (multiple choice) exams.

How long will it take to get my licence?

It's very difficult to give an exact answer, because so much depends upon your age, aptitude, experience, learning rate and - above all - the weather and the frequency of your lessons.  If you can only fly at weekends, you'll probably take a bit longer than those who are available for lessons during the week.  We usually reckon that, as a rough guide, 12 months isn't far off how long your course might take.  If you're desperate to get a licence sooner than that, try our intensive mid-week courses.

How much will it cost?

We usually reckon on a ball park figure of around £3,000 to £3500 maybe a bit less or a bit more. You can book lessons singly at £90 per hour for our stunning GT450 flexwing or £100 per hour for our superb Ikarus C42 fixed wing.
