An introductory flight in a microlight is an awesome gift for someone special or to celebrate that special occasion. We are based at Lee on Solent, on the South Coast near Fareham, Gosport and Portsmouth. We fly in scenic surroundings close to the coast around Portsmouth and Chichester Harbour, Hayling Island and around the Isle of Wight!
A stunning location from every viewpoint!

The best way to find out what microlighting is all about is to come and have an introductory flight. You'll be given a quick one on one briefing, showing you the controls and how to take your seat behind / aside the instructor and taking to the skies.

Embarking on a course of lessons is a big investment, and you should make sure that you are fully informed before signing up so you don't get any surprises further down the line. When starting a course, it is worth sitting down with your instructor and going through all the associated costs that you will be expected to pay throughout your training.
Buying your own microlight: We recommend that you don't buy a microlight before you have got your license. Most instructors prefer to use their own machines for training, and the experience you gain on your course will be invaluable in choosing the right kind of microlight for you. Your instructor will also be able to advise you, and may even be able to come with you to cast their expert eye over your planned purchase.
