The adventure pilot Miles Hilton-Barber has become the first blind man to fly from London to Sydney in a microlight plane.

An elated Mr Hilton-Barber touched down at Bankstown airport in south-west Sydney just before 8:00am AEST.

Mr Hilton-Barber began the flight on March 7.

He took off from the Biggin Hill airfield, relying on speech-output technology to access his flight instruments and navigate the microlight.

The 58-year-old was accompanied by his co-pilot, Richard Hardey.

They flew over the English Channel, across France and Italy, over the Mediterranean, and Syrian air space, into Jordan.

From there, they flew over the United Arab Emirates, the Arabian Sea and East Timor before arriving in Darwin and finally, touching down in Sydney.

Mr Hilton-Barber was the first blind pilot to fly the English Channel a couple of years ago.

He says this flight was aimed at raising money for a charity that restores the sight of blind children in developing countries.

"Imagine if you could walk up to a blind child and say would you like to see again, here, you can see again tomorrow, so there's no greater joy than giving sight back to blind people," he said.

"I'll never see again in this life, but the next best thing is to give sight back to these little children."
