Why Learn in a Microlight?
The Ikarus C42 is light, responsive, and a blast to fly. It’s a perfect entry into aviation, and it comes with real advantages over traditional aircraft like Pipers or Cessnas.
✅ Easier to Learn
Simpler controls and smoother handling help new pilots build confidence quickly.
✅ Lower Costs
Less fuel, less maintenance — microlight flying is much more budget-friendly than General Aviation (GA).
✅ Faster Progress
The National Private Pilot Licence (NPPL) for microlights takes fewer hours than a full GA licence, so you can get in the air solo and get your pilot license sooner.
✅ More Freedom
Once qualified, explore the skies on your own terms — local trips, scenic flights, and weekend adventures await. You can even fly to the continent with the fantastic range that C42 Microlight aircraft have.
What to Expect in Your Training
From day one, you’re in the cockpit, flying the aircraft with a professional instructor beside you. We don’t do long ground sessions before you fly — the fun starts immediately.
