Pre-requisites
Before hiring for the first time we ask that you undergo a check flight with one of our instructors. The flight will include some general handling, circuits, use of aircraft systems and emergency procedures.
If you have previously hired with us, a short check flight to verify currency may be required if you have not flown for a reasonable amount of time.
We regret that we cannot hire aircraft to license holders over the age of 80 for insurance purposes, without making a special arrangement, but we are more than happy for you to fly dual under the supervision of one of our instructors.
We carry full insurance, to the levels recommended by the CAA, but there is a £750 excess if there is an incident and it is the pilots fault.

It will have a full glass panel with backup analogue instruments, a Mode S Transponder and 8.3Khz Com. It is fitted with a ballistic parachute recovery system and uses Mogas.
Virtually unstallable and with a very low approach speed it will be an ideal learner platform. We will offer Microlight rental immediately and shortly afterwards Microlight training. |
