Quite simply because Perth probably has the best facilities of any airfield in the UK for flying Microlights:

3 Runways (2 tarmac, 1 grass) meaning that no matter which direction the wind may blow, flying is often possible at Perth when it is not elsewhere

Relatively clear skies away from busy commercial airports where there are restrictions on recreational flying

Comfortable Clubhouse facilities, offering snacks, are available for friends and family who may wish to come along to witness your experience

Stunning scenery within a few miles of the airfield; rolling parklands on the banks of the Tay close to the airport with the southern Highlands as a backdrop

All the facilities of a professional microlight pilot training school with fully qualified, but friendly, CAA approved instructors flying well-maintained, state of the art, aircraft

Easy access by road and rail from anywhere in Scotland and the North of England

On site Airport Motel for comfortable overnight stays at budget prices

Classy shopping and excellent leisure facilities in nearby Perth for other members of the party perhaps less than enthusiastic about flying
