The course combines structured ground school with practical flight training, allowing you to gain experience handling a flex-wing microlight while learning essential navigation, take-off, landing, and emergency procedures. ✈️ Key Details Duration: 25 hours flight time Aircraft Type: Flex-wing microlight (PulsR or GT450) Location: Popham Airfield, Hampshire Included Training: Ground school and practical flight lessons 🎯 Key Skills Take-off, landing, and circuit flying Weight-shift control and in-flight manoeuvres Solo flight experience under supervision Basic navigation, cross-country planning, and route execution Understanding safety procedures, emergency protocols, and airspace regulations Preparation for NPPL(M) General Skills Test 🛫 What to Expect The course begins with a pre-flight briefing covering safety, aircraft familiarisation, and an introduction to basic aerodynamics and flight principles. You will review controls, weight-shift steering, and techniques for take-off and landing, preparing for dual instruction in the cockpit. Practical flying lessons progress from short circuits to longer cross-country exercises. Initially, the instructor guides all manoeuvres, gradually allowing you more control. Students typically reach their first solo flights after 10–15 hours of dual instruction, marking an important milestone in skill development. Throughout the 25 hours, the course focuses on consolidating your flying skills, including navigation, altitude management, emergency procedures, and solo flight experience. The instructor provides personalised feedback after each lesson, allowing you to monitor progress and prepare for the General Skills Test and eventual NPPL(M) certification. 📍 Location Popham Airfield is an established microlight training site in Hampshire, with two grass runways, hangars, and a café with viewing areas for visitors.
