Hello All,
My name is Rob (46) and I am new to this forum and the world of flying although I have always been interested in aviation - wife has now arranged for my first trial flight as birthday present (have always said I would love to learn to fly and now circumstances allow it a little more).
I appreciate this may be a very basic question and there is a lot of information, with a lot depending on circumstances and new changes in Regulations (I believe) but I thought I would ask.
As my trial flight is in a fixed wing microlight, should I pursue this route for an NPPL or go for a PPL/LAPL (if I love it and please excuse my ignorance if incorrect re terminology).
I am based between Reading and Newbury in West Berkshire so any thoughts, guidance or advice would be greatly appreciated in terms of my next steps and any recommendations for flying schools would be helpful as well.
Many thanks in advance,
Rob
