What Can I Expect

Fly microlights in Taunton! We are offering vouchers for 30, 45 and 60-minute experiences in fixed-wing, closed-cockpit microlights out of this small airstrip near Thurlbear village just south of Taunton.

Headed up by Jim Greenshields, these guys in Taunton know a thing or two about microlights, as they sell, build, maintain, store and offer training in various microlights. Jim started flying hang-gliders in 1978 and has flown everything from gliders to vintage aircraft, clocking up many thousands of hours of experience on over 200 aircraft types in countries around the world.

It's fair to say Jim lives and breathes microlighting and we're sure his enthusiasm will rub off on you. It's no surprise that Jim has settled in Taunton, as it's in a truly superb spot, on the edge of the Blackdown Hills. Within minutes of taking off, the incredible Jurassic Coast is in sight.

These trial flights taking you over Taunton and beyond are operated in one of the school's fixed-wing microlights; typically the Icarus C42. At first sight, these aircraft look like traditional planes, as they use ailerons, rudders and elevators to control pitch, yaw and roll, with a control stick and two pedals inside the closed cockpit - but they're much, much lighter. They're also great to fly.

All experiences start with a welcome and pre-flight safety briefing. You will then head off on your flight, showing you the joys of being in a microlight around Taunton in the Somerset countryside, as you soar gracefully like a bird.

If you feel like giving it a go yourself, you will be able to take the controls, or you can just sit back and enjoy the ride, it's totally up to you. Book now and get ready to meet the microlights in Taunton!
