What Can I Expect
If you're looking for a London flying school with a fleet of modern light sport aircraft you've come to the right place! With several Pipistrel planes lined up in the hangar at Damyns Hall aerodrome, this is ultralight flying at its best. So if you want to get your wings in these revolutionary aircraft it's off to the edge of Essex.
We have different flight packages at Damyns. If you're serious about learning to fly, we can highly recommend the three-hour pilot starter pack, usually flown as three one-hour lessons. If you just want to dip your toe into the world of these super light planes, an introductory lesson is for you. Those wanting to test the cross country capabilities of these Pipistrel-built Alpha Trainers should go for the Isle of Wight land away option.
Those not in the loop with the latest developments in light aircraft will be surprised to hear the Alpha Trainer by world-renowned Slovenian aviation company Pipistrel is actually classed as a microlight. That's because it is very light, thanks to the carbon fibre and Kevlar used in the manufacturing process, but it certainly doesn't look like one.
There's something about that sleek pod-like cabin and curvy fuselage that makes it all very cute and funky, but it's also very practical. Open the gull-wing doors and you'll see it is unusually roomy for a small aircraft. The Alpha boasts great visibility too, thanks to the large windows and no wing struts getting in the way, making take off and landings at this Essex aerodrome a dream for pilot and passenger alike.
They are also really easy to fly, with dual controls coming as standard and the centrally located throttle quadrant making it accessible from both seats. These light aircraft are also reliable, easy to maintain and relatively cheap to run. So no wonder this London-based school has invested heavily in the Alpha. And the instructors love them!
By the end of your time with this London flying school we will hazard a guess that you'll also love Alpha. Don't be surprised if you want one. And you'll be itching to get back to Damyns Hall in Essex for more airtime. And of course, if you've got the money, everything is possible, but in the meantime these packages are a great debut for your light sport aviation career!
