Trial Lesson in a C42 over Henley on Thames at Chiltern Park

Microlight trial lesson

After a safety and ground briefing you will be taking a trial lesson over one of the most famous riverside locations in the Thames Valley - site of the famous regatta - Henley on Thames. Don't forget your camera!

This experience will last a total of approx. 60 minutes, with approx. 30 minutes spent in the air. (We don't compromise on your time in the air. When comparing us with others, check the small print and the time actually spent in the air.)

After a warm welcome from your instructor you will receive a thorough safety and ground briefing on the main flight controls and their primary and secondary effects.
Then it is time for the walk round the aircraft - the C42 is one of the most popular microlight training aircraft in the UK.
Once you are safely strapped in and the engine is warmed up you will be taxiing out to the runway for your first flight.
Once airborne your instructor will demonstrate the controls and once flying straight and level it's your turn to 'take control'.
Your flight will take you direct to this beautiful market town, it is truly, a wonderful sight from the air, with the Thames meandering along the eastern edge of the Chiltern's through the town under its famous stone bridge and famous Regatta course.

Following the River up stream, you past the Royal county town of Reading and Europe's largest wind turbine, then turning north at Pangbourne for the return back to Chiltern Park.
Don't forget to bring your camera.
Like all Trial lessons this flight can count as Exercise 3 of the NPPL(M)and can be logged in your logbook on the day.
