Microlight Flying School – Rise Above the Clouds

The aim of Purple Aviation is to give access to high quality, fully maintained microlight aircraft for existing pilots and flight training for beginners looking to enjoy this less regulated form of recreational aviation.

Purple Aviation is a new school based in the North East of England that has been established in view of the increasing demand for microlight flying brought about by a new breed of quality high performance planes and a new more flexible Private Pilots Licence – the NPPL.

We are committed to bringing recreational flying to as many people as possible and to making the dream of flying a reality.

The video below shows a demonstration of our aircraft and explains the benefits of modern microlight flying over conventional aircraft.

Where are we located?

Purple Aviation is based at Eshott Airfield 16 miles North of Newcastle just off the A1 near Felton. Eshott Airfield location map
