Sport Flying - High Performance Microlight Licence

Hauraki Aero Club inc; operates an Italian built Tecnam P96 Golf - 100 sport aircraft. Microflight offers indivisualised, friendly, professional microlight training.

As opposed to the Geneal Aviation training structure, designed for people seeking a creer in aviation, the mircolight training structure is geared around people of any age who are looking to learn to fly purely for pleasure or as a sport. So while comprehensive it is not as rigorous as for the professional pilot.

The curriclum has been designed specifically by the Sport Aviation Corporation (the governing body) and is New Zealand Aviation Authority approved.

The Tecnam is a sturdy and reliable aircraft and the Aero Club uses the Tecnam to tow the gliders into the air when the regular towplane is being serviced.

Learning to fly is no harder than learning to drive, but a lot more fun! If you can reach the pedals you can learn to fly. It's as simple as that!

Contact Graeme Styles at Microflight and make a time to come down to the airfield and look over the Tecnam, talk about flight training and take a trial flight to see how much fun it is. Trial flights cost approx $90 for an hour*.
