What Can I Expect
Fly in fixed-wing, modern microlights over the West Midlands! These microlight experiences take off from Halfpenny Green Airport near Wolverhampton and are operated by Ikarus C42 aircraft.
The Ikarus is actually a microlight, but looks and flies like your typical light aircraft. The C42 model is widely considered the gold-standard for flight training, loved by pilots for that comfortable, closed cabin and forgiving handling, combined with impressive fuel efficiency. And indeed, microlights have been flying at this Wolverhampton airfield with its trio of runways for a great many years.
If you're feeling a little bit nervous before going up (and that's completely normal), all the encouragement you need, along with the patient and kind words will be there too. The emphasis at Wolverhampton's Halfpenny Green Airport is most definitely on fun, with safety paramount at all times.
It's also a fabulous departure point for exploring the West Midlands from the air in a microlight. You'll be treated to a bird's eye view of the golf clubs and parks, swoop along the wonderful Severn Valley or maybe even soar over the neighbouring Shropshire Hills.
You'll also have the chance to have a go at this microlight flying lark too, when you're invited to take the controls during your flight if you fancy it.
So whether you're chasing sunsets over the Severn Valley, or climbing into the big blue of a midday sky over Halfpenny Green, you'll love your flight in the modern Ikarus microlight out of Wolverhampton Airport in the West Midlands.
