About the experience

Have you ever wanted to learn how to fly? Then why not pop along to Popham Airfield and take on your first Trial Flying Lesson in an Ikarus C42 - a modern and light sporty aircraft! Fitted with the necessary basics, these planes are perfect for those who have never flown before, and who want to get the hang of flying. Although these are classed as 'light' aircraft they are far from it. They only need 200m to take off and can touch down to land in under 300m, making them pretty powerful when they want to be. What's more, they can cruise at 100mph through the skies - so rest assured - although pitched as the perfect beginner plane, they can certainly still pack a punch. Situated at a friendly airfield near Basingstoke in Hampshire, it's within an easy travel distance from Reading and London and lessons are hosted by friendly and enthusiastic instructors passionate about getting beginners confident in the skies. So what are you waiting for? Get your first lesson under your belt and secure your spot today.

Patrick Butler

Thank you, great experience. Instructor very friendly and clear with instructions. Also made me feel relaxed. Had perfect weather for the flight and visibility was amazing. Also, the staff at Popham airfield friendly and easy to make the booking. Brilliant day out and will remember for a long tie. Highly recommended

Steve Thomas

I had a wonderful flying experience at Popham airfield on 23rd August 2019. My instructor was Mike Slaughter and was clear in his instruction, warm and friendly and certainly helped make the occasion very special for me. I was impressed with the light aircraft C42 Icarus and have already made up my mind to repeat the experience. I have also recommended it to a lot of my friends.

A Trusted Customer

Neal

This was an amazing experience, allowing me to fulfil a lifelong dream to get one to the cockpit of a plane. Jeremy, the pilot, was very informative and amiable. We had a hybrid lessonsightseeing tour. It has encouraged me to go back for more lessons.
