The Irish Aviation Authority have licensed Newtownards airfield as one of only 4 licensed microlight training schools in Ireland and the only one in the North.

We had a visit from the I.A.A Safety Officer and he had no hesitation in granting us a license the first time that this has been done outside of the Republic.

Ken and myself were interviewed and attended a Flight Examiners Seminar in Dublin and were awarded IAA Instructor and examiner ratings to go with our UK ratings.

We at Newtownards are the only Flexwind school that you can get both UK license and the Republics ICAO recognised microlight license.
