From there, you can progress through further sessions on school aircraft or your own microlight, building skills gradually. The full programme prepares you for the National Private Pilot Licence (Microlights), which requires a minimum of 25 hours of flight training, including at least 10 solo hours, along with ground school and exams. You will also participate in a General Skills Test and oral examinations. The programme balances practical flying, solo preparation, and theoretical knowledge, providing a comprehensive learning experience. 📦 Package Options Introductory Flight – One-hour flight designed for first-time flyers. Includes pre-flight briefing, practical handling under instructor supervision, and post-flight debrief.

An introductory flight includes one hour of hands-on flying under the supervision of a qualified instructor. You will receive a full pre-flight briefing, learn the basics of controlling the microlight, and gain experience in take-off, manoeuvring, and landing. Post-flight debriefs help consolidate your understanding and provide tips for future sessions. All necessary flight equipment is provided, including headsets and harnesses. The session is designed to give first-time flyers a safe and enjoyable experience while building confidence and understanding of microlight operations. ### How many hours of training are required to achieve an NPPL(M)? To qualify for a National Private Pilot Licence (Microlights), a minimum of 25 hours of flight training is required. This includes at least 10 solo flight hours, where you demonstrate your ability to operate a microlight independently while maintaining safety and precision. In addition to flight hours, candidates must complete ground school sessions covering air law, navigation, meteorology, human performance, and aircraft technical knowledge. You will also be assessed via a General Skills Test and oral examinations before licencing. ### Can I progress from the school aircraft to my own microlight? Yes, after initial sessions on a school microlight, you can transition to flying your own aircraft. This allows you to become familiar with your specific microlight and develop personalised skills under instructor supervision. Training on your own aircraft includes advanced manoeuvres and preparation for solo flight. This progression helps reduce costs while providing continuity in learning. Flying your own microlight also enables you to build confidence more quickly and experience the satisfaction of managing your own aircraft from an early stage. ### What is the minimum age and weight for participants? The minimum age for all participants is 14 years, in line with UK aviation regulations. Individuals must also not exceed 105kg in weight to ensure the safe operation of the microlight and to maintain aircraft performance standards. These prerequisites ensure that learners can handle the physical demands of flying while staying within safe operational limits. No prior flying experience is required for beginners, although full NPPL(M) training requires regular participation. ### Is previous flying experience necessary? No previous experience is required to take part in an introductory flight. The first sessions are designed to introduce you to basic flight controls and procedures under the guidance of an experienced instructor. For those pursuing full NPPL(M) licencing, consistent training and engagement in ground school are necessary to develop both theoretical knowledge and practical flying skills. The structured programme allows learners to progress at their own pace. ### What does ground school training involve? Ground school covers essential topics such as navigation, air law, meteorology, human performance, and aircraft technical knowledge. These lessons prepare students for NPPL(M) exams and provide a solid foundation for safe and confident flying. Sessions include interactive learning and practical exercises to help you apply theoretical concepts during your flights. Ground school is included in the programme and is crucial for achieving full licencing and understanding safe operational procedures. ### Are spectators allowed during flights? Yes, up to six spectators can be present at the aerodrome. Viewing areas allow friends and family to observe flights safely, including introductory sessions and more advanced training. Spectators can watch pre-flight briefings and post-flight debriefs, which provide additional insight into flying techniques and training progression. This setup ensures a safe and enjoyable experience for both learners and guests. ### What safety measures are in place during training? All training follows Civil Aviation Authority-approved guidelines and British Microlight Aircraft Association standards. Experienced instructors provide constant supervision, ensuring safe flying practices at every stage. All required flight equipment, including harnesses, headsets, and emergency procedures, is provided. Pre-flight briefings cover safety checks, while post-flight debriefs reinforce learning and risk awareness. ### What happens after I complete the NPPL(M) training? Once you complete the required flight hours, ground school, and assessments, you will be awarded your NPPL(M), allowing you to fly independently and carry passengers. This opens opportunities for cross-country flights, recreational aviation, and further microlight training. Graduates gain confidence, knowledge, and experience that form a strong foundation for continued flying. You can continue to build flight hours, explore new aircraft, and enjoy the freedom and independence that comes with microlight flying. ## Media - **Primary image URL (resolved in app; may be absolute)**: https://adventuro.com/cdn-cgi/image/width=1200,format=auto,quality=90/https://wp.adventuro.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/Screenshot-2025-11-07-103742.png - **Gallery image count**: 13 ## Limitations - Availability, exact session times, and final price may depend on the live booking flow. - This Markdown is generated from the same catalog fields as the public HTML page at the canonical URL above.
