Experience the thrill of microlighting over Peterborough and soar above the picturesque fens and forests! Embark on a 45-minute adventure departing from Conington Airfield. This flying club operates state-of-the-art C42B Ikarus light sport aircraft, offering the comfort and stability of a standard small aeroplane despite being classified as microlights.
What sets these Conington microlight experiences apart is our unwavering commitment to personal service and attention to detail. Captain Gareth Aggett, a highly experienced pilot, takes a mentoring approach to teaching, ensuring that students are supported every step of the way, from their first flight to obtaining their license.
During your in-flight training, you'll receive clear explanations of the main control inputs before taking the controls and flying over the Conington Airfield area. Opting for the 45-minute experience allows for an extended adventure, providing you with more time in the air and ample opportunity to practice and refine your skills. You might even get to navigate local Conington landmarks, such as the picturesque drainage dykes and motorways around the Peterborough area.
