Light Flight offers full-time training with Geoff Dyer and other experienced instructors. The aircraft used are the Aquilla Trike by Solo Wings and the Sting. We also have access to a wide range of Trikes and fixed wing microlights. For anyone wishing to experience the dream of flight, whether on a weight-shift Trike or Sting - which out performs the Cessna 150 on every level - then look no further than Light Flight School. ... more

For budding pilots, one of the best places to start is learning to fly microlights. South Africa is a wonderful place to learn to microlight, and, for experienced pilots, the spectacular landscape and operators scattered all over the country make for the perfect destination to take flight.

The majority of microlight schools and clubs operate out of Johannesburg and Pretoria. Beginners can book tandem flights with experienced pilots, and visitors with their own equipment can use the airfields as take off and landing locations. The choices of flight paths is endless and the scenery along the way is stunning.

If you would like to include game viewing in your microlight experience, head to Hoedspruit in Mpumalanga where pilots will take you on breathtaking excursions over Big Five reserves.

For the more adventurous, a flight school out of Margate on the coast of KwaZulu Natal offers microlight flips guaranteed to get your heart pumping as you take in the spectacular sights of the coastline.
