About the experience
Immerse yourself in the thrill of microlight flying at Rochester Airport, nestled between the River Medway and Chatham. Experience the freedom of soaring over the stunning North Kent countryside and coastline during a 60-minute flight in a fixed-wing microlight. Unlike standard light aircraft, microlights require minimal runway space for takeoff and landing, making the grass airstrips at Rochester the perfect setting for this exhilarating adventure. With uncontrolled airspace, you can take to the skies without delay, avoiding the congestion of larger aircraft. Rich in aviation history, Rochester Airport has been a hub for flight since 1934, ensuring a legacy of excellence and commitment to civil aviation. Under the guidance of Greg and his team, you'll take to the skies in an Ikarus C42, the pinnacle of fixed-wing microlights. Resembling and performing like a traditional plane, this aircraft offers a thrilling and safe flying experience. Your adventure begins with a comprehensive briefing and an introduction to the aircraft's basic controls, setting the stage for an unforgettable flight over the Kentish skies.
