Head to the skies for a thrilling 60 minute Microlight flight and experience true freedom in the air! These nippy, lightweight little flying machines were developed in the 1970s and have evolved into the one of the safest and most economical forms of flight. Prepare to be astounded by the incredible handling and zippy speed as you soar through the sky and admire stunning birds-eye views of beautiful East Yorkshire!

You can choose between a dual-controlled Flexwing or Fixed Microlight (open cockpit or enclosed) and your experienced and friendly instructor can hand over the controls to offer you the chance to fly the aircraft yourself! This can count towards a Microlight Private Pilot's Licence, should you wish to pursue flying further. This fantastic one hour session will give you the ultimate adrenaline rush and leave you grinning from ear to ear, so what are you waiting for? Experience a flight you will remember for the rest of your life!Your Microlighting experience will begin with a detailed health and safety briefing from an experienced pilot, before you get kitted up in your flying gear! You’ll then step aboard your Microlight aircraft, and your pilot will soon have you up in the air and soaring through the sky while you sit back and enjoy the breath-taking views beneath you! Your pilot can then pass you the controls so you can have a go doing some piloting yourself – this is great fun! Your flight will last for 60 minutes, and then you will land back on solid ground … no doubt you will leave absolutely buzzing!

I absolutely loved the microlight flight. I loved that you can fly so close to the ground, especially when flying along the coastline. Microlighting feels so free. It's like being astride a bike but in the air (with a seat belt on, of course), so open and light.

I had a wonderful time, truly a thrilling experience & so happy we were able to go! Not a pilot or anything myself, just wanted to experience the English countryside from the air in a unique way via microlight flight and it was so worth it!

It was a cold and sunny day when I had my flight but I was kitted out in a very thick flying suit and crash helmet so very well equiped. Was quite turbulant in the air but Rob, my instructor/pilot kept up a running commentary all through the flight so felt very confident in his flying skills. Was made to feel very welcome and thoroughly enjoyed my flight.

FAQ
I want to buy this microlight experience as a surprise for my husband, but would also like to do it myself. Would we both be able to go up at the same time, or would one have to wait until the other gets back?

At the Microlight Air Experience Flight venue they currently only have one 'Flexwing' aircraft, and therefore you would have to go up one at a time. 

However when selecting the 'Fixed' aircraft, if you request early enough when booking, you may be able to go up at the same time.
