You’ll complete a hands on pre-flight inspection before going through the basic instruments and controls and the safety requirements. Once you have covered the basics, you’ll be strapped into your seat and the pilot will take to the air. Once you are airborne you’ll be given the chance to take the controls and get a feel for flying the aircraft.

If you’re not too keen to take the controls, sit back and enjoy the experience, taking in the beautiful views of Ephesus, Selcuk, Pamucak beach, Kusadasi port, Temple of Artemis, House of Virgin Mary and Basilica of St.John.

You’ll get great views over the Ephesus, the coastline and the bay! After you’ve landed you’ll conclude with a debrief of your flight and have a great opportunity to ask any other questions that you may have about flying.

• About Microlights Microlight, a two seater light aircraft with a hangglider wing rated as the safest way to fly. From simple beginnings, the microlight has developed into a state of the art flying machine, capable of flying long distances at 100mph or more! In 2001 Britain’s Brian Milton successfully completed the first round the world expedition, showing just how reliable and airworthy these machines have become. They are also capable of reaching dizzying heights. In 2005 a microlight flew over the top of Everest, which demonstrates just how far things have developed. Despite their light appearance, modern microlight aircraft are incredibly strong and have one of the best safety records in leisure aviation. With their large, high-lift wings, microlights simply glide safely to earth in the event of engine malfunction – these days, with high performance aircraft engines, a very rare occurence !
