For once you have tasted flight you will walk the earth with your eyes turned skyward; for there you have been, and there you long to return.
"Treat a friend to a present with a difference!"
​
Why not treat someone to an experience of a lifetime that they will remember forever, and probably not stop talking about. Our attractive gift vouchers cover anything from a 30 minute trial flight, to a full course of lessons.
​
Whether it just be for the thrill, or seeking to explore Lancashire, Cheshire and beyond from a different perspective, or looking for that first step on the ladder towards a licence, we cater for all ages and will ensure that this is an unforgettable experience.
​
They will be provided with all the clothing and equipment they need and taken flying on their first air experience flight by a qualified instructor.
​
They can do as much or as little “hands on” flying they want, it's up to them.
We provide thermal flying suits to cover their clothes, helmets, headsets, balaclavas and gloves. We suggest they dress so they are comfortable on the ground. On colder days we suggest boots or wellies to keep their ankles warm.
​
Our attractive gift vouchers containing a full colour picture of a Microlight are available by post. The vouchers are valid for a nominal six month period, which allows the recipient time to make a reservation to suit themselves. Alternatively, you can make the booking in advance when you order the voucher. Please note that the vouchers are not refundable, but can be transferred to any person.
​
All aircraft are limited to a maximum take-off weight. We have a maximum take-off weight of 409 kg’s. This weight includes the aircraft, fuel, pilot, and what’s left can be the passenger. The maximum weight of passenger we can take is 95 kg’s, about 15 stone. Please take this into account when buying someone a trial flight.
​
When you phone to book your flight, please give us as much notice as possible if there is a specific date you would like, as we can get quite busy. We ask you to give us a call on the morning of your flight to check the weather suitability. If the weather is not suitable, we will rebook the flight for another date that is mutually convenient.
