Try Midcoast Microlights for Fun and Adventure
If you are looking for a different sort of activity to make your stay at one of the fine Port Macquarie hotels truly special, check out Midcoast Microlights! You may be wondering just what a Microlight is, but a word of warning. Once you have the explanation of the word fixed firmly in your mind, you will daydream about the supreme relaxation and enjoyment that goes along with the use of a Microlight. A ride on one of these has been aptly described as bringing a feeling of euphoria mixed with an adrenalin rush to the person lucky enough to experience it.
So, what is a Microlight? For starters, they are a source of fantastic fun! They are basically a small aircraft that seats two people. The cockpit is open to the air, and there is a good-sized wing attached to what most people would call an undercarriage. In Microlight-Speak, however, this particular part is known as a trike. This trike uses an innovative system called weight shifting in order to take to the air. The wing is made so that it can pivot and turn, according to the wind.
Despite this rather odd configuration, a Microlight is perfectly safe to fly in! In fact, you will find that this light aircraft is one of the safest one made in this form. They are hugely popular with those on holiday, as well as the Port Macquarie NSW locals. You almost feel as if you are a bird on the wing as you skim through the clouds and across the landscape as well as the water. A flight on one of these versatile machines will also allow you to see various forms of marine wildlife, something visitors to the area will really enjoy.
Midcoast Microlights is a business that not only sells these trikes and equipment, but also trains pilots to fly them, as they are a certified flight training school. The tourist flights that they offer are as much like any type of regular sightseeing air tours you will find in this area. However, Australian aviation rules call this type of tour a “Trial Introductory Flight”, or a “TIF” flight for short. These rules are for safety’s sake, and are meant to keep some enterprising person who owns a Microflight from hiring it out for flight tours. Only an accredited school such as Midcoast can legally offer the public a chance to experience one of these aircrafts.
You can take a TIF flight at Midcoast year round. What makes them really fun is that each trike has dual controls, as these aircraft are used to train pilots. Once in the air, you are allowed to fly the Microlight yourself. You’ll be accompanied by a Chief pilot, who is an expert at both flying these trikes, and teaching others how to do so. You’ll feel like an old pro in no time at all!
All you need to do in order to arrange a flight is to email or telephone Midcoast Microlights. You are sure to have the experience of a lifetime when you glide through the air on one of their Microlights!
