1 hour trial lesson - North Devon Coast at Westonzoyland

This flight should be long enough to see the beautiful North Devon coast or choose an alternative route on the day! Our microlight has dual controls and an onboard camera to photograph your adventure.

This experience will last a total of approx. 90 minutes, with approx. 60 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.)

Take to the skies along the North Devon Coast in a flexwing weight-shift) microlight.
After a warm welcome from your instructor you will be able to discuss your expectations for the flight and the route that you would like to take. Of course all route planning is subject to ATC on the day but where possible route will be as desired.
Established in the early 1920s, Westonzoyland is one of the country's oldest airfields. During the war several squadrons were based there with a variety of aircraft - Spitfires, Hurricanes and Mosquitos.
After a short safety briefing you will be donning your flying suit and preparing for take off.
Once safely strapped in you will take to the skies with your instructor.
As well as time to get a view of the local scenery usually only seen by the birds you will get opportunity to take the controls of the aircraft. As you fly over Bridgwater Bay and along the coast look out for the white spires of Minehead Butlins. The north Devon coast is a spectacular sight from the air.
With the chance to master a bit of straight and level flying it will soon be time to hand back control for the landing.
Once back on the ground you will have a short post flight briefing.
Flight time can count towards your NPPL licence should you choose to continue so don't forget your logbook.
Images from the inflight cameras are also available.
There is an area for accompanying friends and family to wait .
