What Can I Expect

Go skywards in one of the most gorgeous parts of the country on these gyrocopter flights over Oxfordshire! Cruise over the Cotswolds in a modern, closed-cockpit gyroplane.

Arriving at Enstone, you'll feel like you're in the middle of the Oxfordshire countryside, miles away from the big cities. In essence you're quite correct, because this is a charming, privately-owned aerodrome, where waiting for take off slots and queuing to taxi just doesn't happen. All this means the atmosphere here at Enstone is welcoming and relaxed - perfect for taking your inaugural flight in a gyro.

Having said that, there's plenty going on at this ex-RAF station. From flying schools and clubs, to the fleet of privately-owned aircraft. Not to mention the driving and outdoor pursuits in this area between Chipping Norton and Woodstock.

As for what you'll be flying in, the two full time instructors (who have clocked over 2000 gyro hours between them) are dedicated Magni fans. So much so that they are agents for these Italian designed and built gyrocopters. For your flight, you will most likely take off in a Magni M24 Orion, the popular trainer and tourer model. It boasts a fully-enclosed cockpit, so no being buffeted by the wind!

Sitting side-by-side with your instructor (and with no propeller in front of you), you'll have superb views all round in the Magni M24 Gyro. And indeed, this is a lovely part of Oxfordshire to be looking at. You're in the Cotswolds, with rolling fields and pretty market towns. You might be so enchanted by the view, you'll forget this flight can actually count as section 1a of the pilot syllabus, including your chance to have a go at the controls.

We are offering 30, 60 and 90-minute gyrocopter flights out of Oxfordshire's Enstone Airfield. We think you'll love it, so book your slot today!
