Is there a better activity to add to your list whilst visiting Bath than a microlight flight over the beautiful scenery? In this experience, you’ll not only get a unique view of this historic city, but the chance to learn how to fly either the light and forgiving fixed wing Cyclone AX2000 or Pegasus Quantum flex wing which is one of the most popular microlights in the world. Whatever aircraft you choose, you’ll be under the careful guidance of an expert instructor, probably Brad who has clocked up an insane amount of microlight hours over the years and he is also a member of the British team competing at European and International levels. Brown Shutters Airfield is the perfect place to learn, as not only is it Brad’s second home, but a small and discreet venue that can help you focus on the task at hand as you are not distracted by huge jets taking off around you. These flights are perfect for aviation enthusiasts who are looking to clock up their hours in the skies, but similarly for complete beginners who want a peaceful start to learning how to fly. If you find yourself in Bath, you’ll definitely want to add one of these microlight flying lessons to your schedule as not only will you get the chance to learn how to fly, but see this glorious city from a new perspective.

Kim James
Fabulous experience which was bought for my husband as a present for Christmas last year. He thoroughly enjoyed.
Trevor Hall
This was an amazing experience. Brad is such a great pilot/host/tour guide and instructor. He makes the experience a joy. I've never been in a microlight before and would definitely love to do it again. The views are staggering. The opportunity to learn and have a little go was both terrifying and safe at the same time. What a thrill. I can highly recommend this.
Kentie
Perfect. An excellent hour spent flying over Bath and Bristol
Jeff Chater
Absolutely mind blowing experience, something I cannot recommend highly enough. The pilot / instructor, Brad Wagenhauser was extremely reassuring and a really nice guy. Can't believe even now that we flew over the skies of Somerset. Really desperately want to do it again and am looking into how I can find pilot training courses.
Leanne murray
A brilliant experience. Brad makes you feel at ease and is the cimsaumate professional. He really helped with my nerves. The set up is relaxed but at all times you know you are in safe hands. The flight was just amazing. Such an organic experience as you are so connected with the sky and environment. Totally different to other flying experiences. Give it a go!

Most thrilling experience with a reassuringly professional and competent pilot. Brad was welcoming to my wife and me on arrival at the delightful airfield and entertaining company during the flight. Importantly, his pre-flight communications were quick and helpful. Fiona, who we left at the airfield during the flight, thoroughly enjoyed her time on the ground. Having seen Wiltshire from such a different perspective, I will go again.

Microlight flight got cancelled at 8.30am on the day of the flight as pilot stuck in France. Rebooked for the following day which turned out to be a clear blue warm day so perfect conditions and much better than the previous days weather.
The pilot was friendly, made me feel at ease, explained everything very well, I took controls for a lot of the flight time. Brilliant experience, flight time 1 hour and I was given a choice of routes.
I had an absolutely fantastic experience. Brad has been an excellent pilot who did put me at ease from the first phone call to the flight itself. A memorable experience

Flight was amazing. Very smooth with lovely views over Bath, Cheddar Gorge and countryside. Brad put me at my ease and explained everything. Only lost a star as weather meant it had to be postponed 3 times and road closures at Limpley Stoke made access very difficult. Well worth the wait and perseverance getting there though. Thank you Brad
