Sywell Aerodrome Flying Lessons

Microlight Flying Lessons at Sywell Aerodrome

There’s no better way to experience the history of this airfield than to take a Microlight Flying Lesson from Sywell Aerodrome, as it gives you the chance to enjoy the same views flying across the Northamptonshire countryside as those RAF pilots did when they were training for WW2.

What’s more, if you are new to flying, these lessons in a microlight are the best way to go. At Sywell Aerodrome you'll most likely be flying in a Quik GT 450 for these lessons, giving you the benefit of slow speed handling and great reliability through the skies as you are learning. Alongside an expert instructor, you’ll be given an overview of the controls before taking to the skies where it will soon be over to you!

Whether you want to opt for a 30 or 60 minute lesson is entirely up to you, but rest assured your pilot will be on hand to tailor the lesson to your experience. Once you’re safely back on the ground, it’s well worth a wander around the on site museum to take in more of the history here.

Terms and Conditions for Sywell Aerodrome

Once you order a voucher, it will be dispatched by one of our agency partners by e-voucher or by post, depending on which you choose when you checkout.

Vouchers are valid until the expiry date shown on your Voucher (typically 10-12 months).

In most cases, once you activate your voucher you will be sent the instructions to redeem the voucher directly with the airfield or operator. Because flying experiences (other than simulators) can only take place in suitable/ safe weather conditions, you must be prepared to be flexible on your activity date. If the agent or operator cancels your experience date, they will inform you as soon as possible and do their very best to offer an alternative date or location. Once a specific date has been booked, you will automatically become bound by the terms and conditions that the individual operator may have. This does not affect your statutory rights.

Whilst every effort is made to ensure the descriptions contained on our products are a true reflection of the experience, these do not form part of a contract. If on contacting the operator you feel that the activity taking place no longer accurately represents the activity purchased, the relevant agent will exchange the voucher or refund the purchase price.

If you have any more questions about Sywell Aerodrome gift vouchers and experiences please contact us.
