To gain your NPPL (microlight) you will need a minimum of 25 hours flight training with an accredited CAA Flying Instrucor and pass five ground exams as well as your General Flying Test to obtain your NPPL.

With the right instructor and a healthy dose of motivation, becoming a fully qualified pilot is well within most people's reach.

Our Aircraft

We train on the GT450, the PulsR and also your own aircraft. We can also come to you and train at your airfield subject to the owners permission, and cost. Allowances should be made for travel and overnight expenses. But a quick intensive course can rapidly speed up the process of learning and economies are reaped further down the road. Our average course duration is almost half what the national average is so our training methods speak for themselves.
