Cambridgeshire Microlights - Flying School

I found Cambridgeshire Microlights after searching for local airfields near me with the hopes of beginning my journey to obtain my NPPL licence (or at least give it a good go).After a conversation with the CFI Katie, I agreed to have a trial flight and haven't stopped flying since.I've had the privilege of flying with both Adrian and Katie. Both offer upmost professionalism and have a teaching style which just seems to work really well for me and I'm sure it will also for many others if not everyone who's interested in learning to fly.The training aircraft for students is kept in very good condition and is cleaner than most cars on UK roads and is also an extremely stable aircraft to fly.The airfield is very well maintained by Pat who works extremely hard to ensure that the standards of the club are upheld and the airfield is tidy, safe and clean.If you're considering learning to fly, I'd recommend at least a trial flight. It's inexpensive compared to other General Aviation flying however I'd argue that it's twice as fun!

Great flying lesson experience today. Adrian was a brilliant instructor and will definitely book him again

I had a 1hr learning to fly experience with Cambridgeshire Microlights. From the moment I arrived I was made to feel really welcome. Before the lesson I was able to chat with some of the private owners all of which were very friendly and welcoming.My instructor was very knowledgeable tailoring his delivery to my experience. No messing around with getting in the air, after a safety briefing and run down of the equipment we were soon in the air and the controls handed over. During the lesson I was instructed through the basic controls. I flew right through to the approach.I really enjoyed the experience and will be booking lessons in the near future.Thank you guys

I had my first set of flying lessons yesterday at Cambridge Microlight and it was an exceptional experience! My flight instructor, Adrian, was very patient and very skilled, and taught is a very relaxed environment with a lot of attention to detail. Highly recommend this school for those looking to start their flying experience or learning with a great team of instructors. Thank you Adrian for a wonderful experience yesterday!

Chatteris is a great place to learn, I began my training there in September with Adrian, who is very knowledgeable and patient. The microlight club is also very friendly and a cup of tea is always on offer!

Absolutely fantastic trial flight! Very welcoming staff and a very friendly and helpful instructor Adrian! A great introduction and has really made me want to learn to fly!

I can only confirm what others have said. Adrian is a great instructor and made my taster flight a delightful experience. Will definitely be coming back.

Lovely airfield and extremely helpful staff. I've flown a couple of times from Chatteris on their flying start package and highly recommend.Both flights were with Adrian who is a fantastic flight instructor. Enjoyed every minute of my tuition and look forward to qualifying.

Outstanding from start to finish. What a wonderful experience flying over the Cambridgeshire countryside in the C42. Adrian was an excellent instructor and with any luck, I hope to visit again.

A great place to experience microlight flying. I have been training here now for a year and their instructors are very professional and experienced. From a training perspective, the airfield has plenty of runways so it is rare that you have to take off or land with a significant crosswind, allowing for more circuit training opportunities as any crosswind will be light.The club house itself is small but functional, with tea and cake often available. There is a large viewing area just outside the club house for spectators to watch the microlights take off and land, as well as the skydiving aircraft and the skydivers who jump out of it. If you are hungry, you can go next door to the skydiving club and buy drinks, bacon butties, etc, although it is a bit pricey there. Prices for experience flights and training at this club are reasonable, be sure to check out their website for more details. There is also a nice bunch of people at this small microlight club who are very welcoming to visitors, other club members and they are also very supportive to people who are currently in training.
