What Can I Expect
Between the River Medway and Chatham lies Rochester Airport where the microlights fly free! This is a wonderful part of the country to take a flying lesson, as there are big vistas to be had over the North Kent countryside and coastline.
We are offering 30 & 60-minute flights in fixed wing microlights for you. Microlights need far less runway to take off and land than your standard light aircraft. That's why the grass airstrips at Rochester are just right for microlighting. It's uncontrolled airspace too, so you won't be hanging around waiting for big jets who take priority.
Rochester Airport is steeped in aviation history, having opened in 1933 when the Short Brothers moved in to test-fly the planes they built.
You'll be soaring the skies in an Ikarus C42 fixed wing microlight. It looks just like a plane and behaves just like a plane. You'll be in a closed cockpit, sitting alongside your instructor pilot.
Each flight starts with a briefing and introduction to the aircraft and a talk on the basic controls. Then you're ready to head off into the Kentish skies above Rochester in your microlight.
