We have training for the Microlight PPL on three axis microlight. We also have an examiner in house for writtens and flight tests.

Microlight hire is also available from our premises on Gloucestershire Airport.

Microlight FAQ:

In the UK you need a licence to fly a microlight. The licence is issued by the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA).

The licence is called the National Private Pilot’s Licence (NPPL) and the rating you need to fly microlights is the Microlight rating.

NPPL holders can also fly some light aircraft and motor gliders if they have additional ratings added to the basic Licence.

Holders of other Pilot Licences may be entitled to fly microlights as a privilege of another rating. The CAA and JAR PPL with an SEP rating also allow the holder to fly microlights.
