LEARNING TO FLY EITHER A FIXED WING OR FLEX WING MICROLIGHT IS CONSIDERABLY CHEAPER THAN LEARNING TO FLY A ENTRY LEVEL LIGHT AIRCRAFT (GROUP A), AND PERFORMANCE WISE, THERE IS NOT THAT MUCH IN IT, JUST THE ABILITY TO CARRY MORE THAN ONE PASSENGER IN SOME GROUP A.
YOU CAN START TO LEARN TO FLY FOR THE PURPOSE OF LOGGED FLIGHTS AT THE AGE OF 14 YEARS OLD, FIRST SOLO IS POSSIBLE AGED 16 AND A LICENCE IS POSSIBLE ON YOUR 17th BIRTHDAY, So you can fly before you can drive a car
flex wing training
Flex wing flying still remains the cheapest way of owning your own aircraft. The course is based on a structured syllabus set by the British Microlight Aircraft Association(BMAA) in conjunction with the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA )
There are two types of licence available but most people go for an unrestricted licence. (for more details contact us)
The syllabus for the licence is almost identical to the fixed wing syllabus, only the controls are different, therefore flex wing flying does tend to be a stepping stone into fixed wing flying as the years go by.

The Course NPPL(M)
During your course, you'll complete the flying syllabus and five multiple choice exam papers. The subjects to be covered are:
// Human Factors
// Meteorology
// Navigation
// Aviation Law
// Principle of Flight/Aircraft General
Whilst the thought of exams may sound daunting at first, the experience of learning to fly is exhilarating & fascinating, but you need the knowledge, so you will apply yourself and find them relatively easy. You chose when you want to sit one of the exams, so you concentrate on one paper over a couple of weeks prior.
