Q. I want to learn to fly

A. Which aircraft would you like to learn to fly in?

Click to enlarge a C42 Click to enlarge G-CERN the GT450 building up speed for take off
C42 G-CGWK/G-CGNI are 80hp fully enclosed 2-seaters with cabin heating, 70mph cruise. Ideal trainers, very easy to fly plus capable tourer. Has taken many students to first solo and their licence plus has done two tours to France. QuikR is the best performance training flexwing available. 80hp, 2-seater open cockpit, 75mph cruise, 0 to takeoff in under 4 seconds, really feel the thrill. Pictured our previous aircraft a GT-450, France and back in 2008/10 - no problem.

Click to enlarge G-MZFU our Thruster Click to enlarge New February 2009 G-CFRT our splendid Eurostar
G-MZFU our Thruster was originally developed for Australian sheep farmers. Enclosed but slightly draughty 2-seater cockpit, no heater, many people regard this as a proper microlight. 65 mph cruise. On the fleet to help cover trial flights but not training. G-CFRT our splendid EV-97 Eurostar. 80hp, 100mph cruise, 2-seater with cabin heating, great visability and sexy looks. Yes it is still a microlight and the same price for lessons as the C42. This is our "hot" ship and is more suited for pilots converting from PPL than for ab-initio.


To achieve solo standard during NPPL (M) courses, you must be a minimum of 16 years of age to go solo and 17 years of age to get the license. Also for solo flying you must obtain a Medical Declaration Certificate (GSA can supply) signed by your doctor. The health requirements are now based on car and HGV license standards. You are advised to become a member of the BMAA "British Microlight Aircraft Association" which GSA can arrange. All training is with British instructors to the British syllabus to obtain a UK licence.


Our UK School, in Wiltshire, operates all year round.


All you need to fly microlights is.....

..........a dream of flying, the ability to have fun,

and a sense of adventure.
