Welcome to the LEARN TO FLY Website

Learn to Fly is a flying school specialising in tandem hang gliding and flex wing microlighting.

What we offer:

We offer trial flights and full courses of instruction on flex wing microlights. Zip through the sky in an open cockpit microlight, taking in some incredible views across London and the River Thames. If you get the taste for it, then we offer full courses of instruction to attain your NPPL, using a Pegasus Quantum 912 or Quik 912 for training.

We also offer Tandem flights in one of the world’s best hang gliders today!

Discover for yourself what it feels like to soar over 2000ft above the ground, with no engine, and just the sound of the wind in your ears. The views are simply breathtaking on a clear day...and not at all bad on a cloudy one!
A flight in a hang glider is one of those 'must do before you die' experiences... and don't worry - you won't die doing it!

Corporate Days/Evenings

An evening's flying makes for a superb team event or reward - and the airfield is easily reached from the City/Canary Wharf. We can recommend local conference facilities if you want to make a serious day of it.

Gift Experiences

A tandem hang gliding flight or introductory microlight lesson make a superb activity gift experience, and we can send you a personalised voucher to give to your intended recipient. Friends and family are welcome to come to the airfield to watch and share the experience, and make use of the Clubhouse facilities - including the Aviator Café which has a comfortable viewing area for spectators.

Group Flying / Discounts

Discounts for group bookings are available - so why not make a day of it and bring your friends and family along? 3 -4 group sizes are ideal, our maximum group size is 12.

Evening Flying

We often fly until sunset, so can take you up after office hours - the perfect antidote to a hard day's grind... Evening flying frequently offers the best flying conditions for both microlighting and tandem hang gliding.
