Affiliated Clubs, Flying Schools and Aero Clubs
Our directory below is a comprehensive list of our national network of instructors who are currently offering microlight aircraft pilot training. Our network includes full-time flying schools and clubs to recreational clubs and independent instructors. As we are still substantially a recreational activity it is important to note that most of our clubs and instructors are volunteers offering training in their spare time. Please contact us if you cannot locate an instructor near you and we will do our best to put you in touch.
