Assuming atmospheric density equal to modern earth, then I would guess you would just assume 1/0.38 as massive as on earth. You would see 105 pound creatures flying like 40 pound ducks on earth.
That is still a bit off from heavier humans flying with much less efficient strap on wings.
Human powered flight might be a bit easier, since on earth it's TL7 with very compact fit men doing it.
