What Can I Expect

Flying lessons in Oxfordshire that are a veritable aerial adventure at the same time! We are offering vouchers for 30-minute lessons and longer escapades too, from various private airfield locations around Abingdon and South Oxfordshire, in light sports aircraft.

The German designed and built CT aeroplane weighs in at under 450kg, meaning it's in the microlight class of aircraft. That doesn't mean you're 'at one' with the elements though, as it has a closed cockpit. It looks just like your typical light aircraft and this little baby can reach speeds of 170mph and has an impressive range, hence why you can easily head to France or the Isle of Wight!

Indeed, therein lies the beauty of these Oxfordshire flying lessons. Not only do you get to try your hand at actually flying the plane, you also get to witness some splendid views from the panoramic and surprisingly spacious cockpit.

If you opt for the 30 minute adventure flight, you stay local to Abingdon, but there's so much to see! Highlights include the Uffington White Horse Bronze Age chalk carving and Dragon Hill, where legend has it St George slew that pesky dragon.

On the 60-minute experience, you will be circling over those famous spires of Oxford, before following the River Thames as it winds along to Henley. Add in some stunning vistas of the historical Wittenham Clumps tree arboretums and you've got yourself a fascinating flight!

The two land away options are fab. Who could resist a hop over the Channel to wonderful Le Touquet on the Opal Coast? Hop on a hire bike or take a stroll into this charming seaside town, enjoy a moules frites lunch and head back to the airport for your return flight. 

Then there's the chance to take a pub lunch on the Isle of Wight - having flown there yourself (via a quick whizz around the Needles of course!). We think all these flying lessons from Oxfordshire are great fun, offer superb flight itineraries and plenty of hands-on flight training too. What more could you ask for?
