Learn to Fly

Welcome to one of the few flying schools in the country that offers both tandem hang gliding and flex wing microlighting! Learn-to-fly is based in semi-rural greenbelt land just outside London, on a superb airfield with full facilities including a cafe and viewing area. We offer trial flights and courses on open cockpit microlights, and introductory tandem hang gliding flights, flying over the Thames estuary and the Essex countryside.

Tandem Hang Gliding

Experience what it is like to fly free as the birds by hang gliding side by side with a BHPA approved instructor. You will be towed up to 2000ft by a microlight then released to soar like a bird before gently gliding back to earth.

Microlight Flying

Introductory flights and complete training courses in flex-wing microlights leading to the National Private Pilot's License (NPPL): The flex wing microlights that we use have open cockpits, which makes for an exhilarating flying experience, with superb views.

gift experiences

A tandem hang gliding or introductory microlight lesson make a superb gift, and we can send you a personalised voucher to give to your nearest and dearest. 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 Cafe and a comfortable viewing area.

group flying

Discounts for group bookings - so why not make a day of it and bring your friends and family along?

 

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.
