What Can I Expect

Go the distance with these Lewes to Isle of Wight landaways! Take off from Deanland in East Sussex and fly over to the Isle of Wight to land and then fly back to Lewes for a thrilling landway experience.

All landaways out of Lewes are operated by modern, light sports aircraft. They are fully enclosed just like your typical light aircraft, but are classed as microlights as they have been built with lightweight materials. They are known as light sports aircraft as they are just that: light, with a very sporty performance!

We've chosen a superb landaway location for you. The Isle of Wight, with its famous Needles, is a lovely place to visit, made all the more exciting when you arrive by light sports aircraft. You'll fly from Deanland into Island Airport Sandown, which is a privately-owned airfield between Shanklin and Sandown.

As you can imagine, the views as you fly from Lewes over Portsmouth and head to the island are fantastic.

Once landed on the Isle of Wight, you've got time to visit the Island Cafe, which is right next to the control tower at Island Airport. This place is legendary for its bacon baps and mugs of tea - the fuel of pilots everywhere!

After your break it's time to take off again for your return leg, flying from Sandown back to Deanland.

And don't forget, these return flights aren't just about the amazing scenery, you will have the chance to take control of the aircraft too, as experiences are conducted as proper training sessions. Book a Lewes to Isle of Wight lights sports landaway for a day out with a difference!
