30 minute flight in a 3 axis Microlight at Dunkeswell

A 30 minute introduction to the freedom of flight in a Icarus C42. Includes pre-flight briefing. During the flight there will be plenty of opportunity to take the controls. Don't forget your camera.

This experience will last a total of approx. 60 minutes, with approx. 30 minutes spent in the air. (We don't compromise on your time in the air. When comparing us with others, check the small print and the time actually spent in the air.)

After a warm welcome from your instructor and a short briefing you'll be airborne on a wild ride through the skies above the beautiful Devon countryside or down to the magnificent south coast, soaring with the birds. Subject to local restrictions the choice is yours.

You will be flying in an Icarus C42 3 axis microlight - one of the best!

The fixed wing microlight is effectively a small conventional aircraft. The wing is fixed to the aircraft and has ailerons to control the roll and and elevator to control the pitch, the 3rd control being the rudder that controls the yaw, hence the term '3 axis'. These control surfaces are controlled by a control column (stick) and two rudder pedals requiring the coordination of the hands and feet. Don't worry, it's not as complicated as it sounds!

During your trial flight, you'll be given the opportunity to take the controls and fly the aircraft yourself (under the watchful eye of your CAA qualified instructor) but it's by no means obligatory.

You'll also be allowed to take a camera with you to capture your flight.
