Reviewed by Richard O'Regan  on  This Flight was a great experience with an excellent Pilot called Nick who owns the flying school in Welshpool. He went over the safety checks and explained the controls to me then we were up and away heading towards Lake Vyrnwy . When we reached a height of approximately 1800 feet I was allowed to control the aircraft with Nick guiding me. I was not over confident and as we came into a couple of clouds and showers I was happy for Nick to take over again. It was great to see the lake and he then changed course to Llangollen which was wonderful to see from the air basked in sunshine with an amazing aquaduct and a viaduct. From there we headed towards Wrexham as I continued taking pictures and videos and Nick pointed out various landmarks and geographical features as and when they came into view. Then we skirted along the edge of the Shropshire Plains and plotted a course back to Welshpool at which point I felt confident to take the controls again and get a "feel" for the microlight. Nick took over to plan the descent as we approached Welshpool Airfield and we flew over Powys Castle before we circled around the Airfield and descended gently for the Runway Approach with Nick explaining to me through the headset exactly what was happening as he brought the plane down expertly. Thank you Nick for sharing your knowledge in a calm and enjoyable way. This Flight was a great experience with an excellent Pilot called Nick who owns the flying school in Welshpool.
