I'm currently Instructing for Light Flight, www.lightflight.co.za, in microlighting trike and fixedwing at Cato Ridge under Geoff Dyer . I am a "B" grade instructor with 350hrs instruction and 600 flying hours.

FLY LIKE A BIRD Have you ever yearned to be free as a bird, feel the wind in your hair and experience an adrenalin rush like no other…then you should definitely give microlighting a try. And what better place to do this than in the Midlands where the rolling green hills, forests, rivers and the majestic Drakensberg forms the perfect backdrop. Noel McDonogh, a microlight instructor for Light Flight, says that flying with a qualified instructor in a microlight makes it possible to admire the scenery and the area from above. “We can fly people to some great locations for breakfast or a coffee stopover, to places like Wartburger Hof or the Howick airfield, which is alongside Midmar Dam. We take people over some breath-taking sights, which they cherish for their lifetime, and some people get so hooked that they decide to learn to fly a microlight themselves.” Noel says that contrary to popular belief, microlighting is not only for the more adventurous. “It is for anyone with motivation for exploration with a difference.” He adds that if you don’t have a fear of heights, you are sure to enjoy the flight of your lifetime. Noel explains that microlighting is an all-year-round sport but the best season for flying is during winter as the weather is more predictable and there are long, fantastic flying days, usually all day. Don’t let the fact that the cockpit isn’t enclosed put you off – safety is the number one priority, assures Noel. Not being enclosed is one of the best parts of microlighting, “because you feel like you are a part of the scenery you fly over, says Noel. It’s like touring on a motor bike instead of an enclosed car and, because you are high up in a different world, it’s 10 times more intoxicating than riding a motorbike through the countryside.”
