Microlighting Adventure over Bath

Embark on an unforgettable journey as you fly over the idyllic landscapes surrounding Bath. Picture yourself in an open-cockpit microlight, feeling the rush of the wind and the stunning scenery beneath you. This experience promises not only excitement but also a unique connection to the beautiful nature that envelops you.

Just a stone's throw from the charming village of Norton St Philip lies the hidden gem of Brown Shutters airfield. This discreet, private airstrip is where your microlighting adventure begins. Since its inception in 1988 by aviation enthusiast Mr. Newbigin, this airfield has welcomed passionate flyers eager to explore the skies. Today, it continues to be a haven for a select group of aviators, including the incredibly skilled Brad, your enthusiastic instructor.

Brad is not just a pilot; he’s a true aficionado of microlighting, with a wealth of experience including competing at European and International levels. His passion is palpable, especially when introducing newcomers to the exhilaration of flight. Whether you choose the stable fixed-wing Cyclone AX2000 or the versatile Pegasus Quantum 15-912 flex-wing microlight, you will enjoy a thrilling flight experience in safe hands.

Both microlights are designed with beginners in mind, offering a forgiving flying experience and the unparalleled joy of open-air aviation. You’ll learn fascinating details about your aircraft, including that they run on regular unleaded fuel while also being compatible with AVGAS. Choose from flight durations of 10, 20, 30, or 60 minutes and take your first steps into the captivating world of microlighting!
