The Vosges: the ideal region to try out microlight flying

During this multiaxis microlight flight, you will fly over Epinal and its surroundings: the High Vosges, the Moselle and the south of Nancy, the Vosges ridges and many other incredible places. You'll have a great view!

Course of the flight :

• Welcome by the team and 15 minutes briefing: flight schedule, safety instructions and information necessary to fly the microlight.
• Installation in the aircraft and take-off by the instructor.
• Once in the air, you will take control of the aircraft: execution of manoeuvres in complete safety.
• Landing by the pilot and debriefing on the sensations encountered.

Several types of microlight are available:

• ULM Tetras: a two-seater side-by-side aircraft with a metal structure. This is a high wing microlight.
• Dynamic WT9 ultralight: the latest generation of low-wing ultralights.
• ULM "Kiebitz ": directly inspired by the planes of the 1930s. With a length of almost 7 metres and 2 seats, this aircraft can reach a maximum speed of 150km/h. Unlike the Multiaxis microlights, here the cockpit is in the open air.
