Ulster Microlight Club, Newtownards, N.Ireland


The Ulster Microlight Club is situated 12 miles east of Belfast at Newtownards Airfield, Co. Down, N.Ireland and is run by Qualified Flying Instructors Ken Crompton (Fixed Wing) and Gerry Snodden (Flexwing).

Ken and Gerry are two of the most experienced instructors in the UK and Ireland and have been appointed by the CAA and Irish Aviation Authority as flight test examiners. So if you want either an Irish or a UK license you can do all the training and your final flight test at Newtownards . The airfield at Newtownards is exceptionally well suited to flight training as it has six all weather runways and a grass runway which allows training to take place in most wind and weather situations.

You'll find that we're a friendly bunch, all helping each other to enjoy not only the delights of flying but the social scene too. And you don't have to be a flyer to join either. We've got lots of members who don't fly at all but just love to be part of our scene. They are all great sports and give a lot of invaluable ground support when we need it. We can take you right fom the very start, your first flight, right to your Captain Status as we are authorised examiners both writtern and practical - so with us, it all happens under the one roof!

You are more than welcome to come visit us and we will have a chat with you, show you around and before you make the decision to take lessons, we can take you on a trial flight!
