Microlight Flying

Soar Above the Clouds: Unleash Your Inner Pilot with Microlight Flying

Have you ever gazed out the airplane window, marveling at the pilotโ€™s confidence navigating a colossal metal bird through the vast sky? Have you ever wondered if you, too, could experience the thrill of flight? Well, buckle up, adventure seeker, because Outdoorkeeda brings you the exhilarating world of microlight flying!

Microlight Magic: Your Gateway to Flight

Microlight flying, also known as ultralight flying, offers an unforgettable adventure unlike any other. Imagine yourself soaring above the clouds, the world miniaturized beneath you, feeling the wind rush through your hair as you experience the freedom of flight in a microlight aircraft.

Unveiling the Microlight: Your Chariot of the Sky

A microlight is a lightweight, one- or two-seater aircraft with fixed wings. These compact marvels typically weigh less than 450 kilograms (depending on regulations), making them incredibly efficient and maneuverable. Microlights can reach impressive heights of up to 9,000 meters and cruise at speeds exceeding 220 kilometres per hour. Most importantly, theyโ€™re designed for STOL (short takeoff and landing), meaning they donโ€™t require long runways for takeoff or landingโ€”perfect for smaller airfields.

In India, there are some regulations which have to be fulfilled if you want to steer a microlight:

    • The participant must complete 60 hours of training, which includes a minimum of 40 hours of flying in the air.
    • The participant must clear written and oral exams, which are conducted by the Directorate General of Civil Aviation.
    • The participant must obtain a Microlight Pilot License (PL(M)) if he/she wants to fly alone.
    • The minimum age to be eligible for this license is 17 years. Yes, you have to wait that long for this exciting adventure. However, if you are being accompanied by a pilot, you can relish this adventure at just the ripe age of 12.
    • There is no particular maximum age but if you are pregnant or suffer from a neurological disorder, epilepsy and high blood pressure you should consult a doctor before booking your tickets.

You can enjoy microlight flying even if you are not trained, a pilot will accompany you during your expedition. However if you have taken a proper training and got your license you can handle the microlight alone. We can see your adrenaline pumping already!!!!!!!

Safety First, Fun Always!

Safety is paramount at Outdoorkeeda. Before embarking on your microlight adventure, youโ€™ll receive comprehensive training from certified instructors. This ensures you understand the aircraftโ€™s operation and safety protocols. And if youโ€™re still feeling apprehensive, a seasoned pilot will fly alongside you on your initial flight, providing guidance and ensuring a smooth experience.

Microlight Flying in India

Relax manโ€ฆ. Calm down! We are getting to that partโ€ฆ..one step at a time. India gifts you two destinations for this adrenaline pumping adventure.

1) Shahpura:

By the grid, you will locate this microlight flying facility 6 km west of Shahpura,ย Rajasthan. This aerodrome is equipped with certified instructors and is also registered to give you the license for solo flying. However, the Go Fly School for being trained in this recreational activity is under construction. Many additional perks, such as Go Fly club and Flyerโ€™s Resort and Spa, along with a cool Flyerโ€™s restaurant, are going to be a part of this whole constitution.

2) Bangalore:

This is the first aerodrome (Yelahankaโ€™sJakkur aerodrome) in India to start microlight Flying. The latitudes and longitudes of this place meet at Mysore,ย Karnataka. With just 3500 bucks for as long as 10 minutes (trust me, its long when you are up there), this is the most affordable microlight flying experience you can get.

Wanna fulfill your childhood dream of flying an microlightย aircraft? (Cmmonnnโ€ฆ everyone has dreamt of it at some point in life). So book your tickets and register yourself at the destination of your choice to raise your adrenaline as high as your microlight. Happy Flying!
