Hi Callum,

Welcome to Bonnie Scotland's airspace!

And you have chosen a great time to start learning with the clocks having just changed and it will soon be daylight until 9 or 10pm.

Your choices for 3-axis microlights are Perth, Balado in Fife microflight academy microlight flying lesson Gift glasgow scotland and us Sportflight Scotland - flying lessons, trial flights and gift vouchers in a three-axis microlight aircraft here at Strathaven Airfield

To be frank, we are probably the nearest, but also the most expensive in terms of our "charge per hour".

We are certainly a much less formal airfield that Perth - which may be a disadvantage if you want to go commercial and would rather start right out with more complex stuff.

Of course, it could also be an advantage, in that you will later have a better understanding of how the other half fly!

Learning is a big commitment, you might even want to check each option out with a trial flight - ie put us on trial! - and that way also see how far by road each option is.
