Learn to Fly

Learn to Fly is a rare bird indeed, being one of the few schools in the country that offers both Tandem Hang Gliding and Microlighting!

If you want to see what hang gliding is all about, or want to learn to fly a microlight, you’ve come to the right place. If you are simply looking to buy a gift experience for a friend or family member, we provide ‘trial flights’ in both microlights and hang gliders and vouchers for these are available from our Learn to Fly Booking page.

Our aim is to help you make the right choice when deciding what type of aircraft you want to fly, whether it is a hang glider, a microlight, or even a conventional glider! We won’t ‘teach’ you how to fly a hang glider, but we can take you up in the world’s best and most sophisticated hang glider, the ATOS VX, for the experience of a lifetime!

If your interest is to get instruction on a microlight then click here and go to our Microlighting page.

The ATOS VX... This is no ordinary hang glider!! With a glide ratio of 20:1 and a fantastic sink rate, you will have anything from 20-30 mins of being 'free as a bird" to take in some outstanding views...

Tandem Hang Gliding

We offer ‘aerotows’ to 2000ft side by side with our BHPA approved air experience instructor, using our Pegasus Quantum 912 ‘tug’ microlight. This Rotax-powered Tug provides exceptional climb performance, with the climb taking only 4-5 minutes, before we are released from the tow line and away we go, it’s just us and the birds! The advantage of aerotowing is that you get up to altitude quickly and have many more minutes to feel what it is like to soar like bird! .

Microlight Flying

We can also teach you to fly a microlight, and we offer complete training courses on Flex-wing microlights, leading to the National Private Pilot’s License (microlight), so for those budding aviator’s looking to get their microlight wings, look no further, as we will help you achieve your dreams.

Learn-to-Fly operates between April and the end of October when the weather is more reliable and warmer... We don’t fly between November 1st and April 1st. However our office is open all year round and we can take bookings on line or by telephone for the sale of our Learn-to-Fly’s gift vouchers. Click here to go to our secure on-line bookings page.
