About the experience
Discover the thrill of flying a microlight over the stunning views of Cambridge and the Fens! We are offering the ‘Flying Start' landaway experience, which offers a friendly and relaxed atmosphere just a short distance from Ely. We provide all the necessary safety gear, including a helmet, flying suit, and gloves, to ensure your comfort and safety. You will start your adventure with a ground briefing and a tour of the microlight and its controls. Your pilot will take you to the skies in a top-class, flex-wing aircraft, the P and M GT450 microlight. Once you're comfortably seated in the open cockpit with your harnesses secured, you'll feel the excitement build as the engine roars to life, and you taxi towards the runway. As you take off and soar to cruising altitude, you'll be treated to stunning views of the beautiful Cambridge region and the Fens. But this experience isn't just about the breathtaking views; you'll also get a chance to take control of the aircraft. With guidance from your pilot, you'll handle the controls and experience the thrill of piloting a microlight. You'll discover how the lightest touch can alter your flight course, and you'll feel the rush of adrenaline as you guide the aircraft through the skies. Sutton Meadows Airfield is situated in the heart of the Cambridgeshire fenland and boasts three grass runways, eliminating the problems of crosswinds. You'll have the option of choosing your takeoff and landing directions, making this experience perfect for these lightweight flying machines. If you're serious about getting to know what piloting a microlight in Cambridge is all about, we recommend the Flying Start package. You'll fly to another airfield, take a break, and then fly back, giving you an extended experience of piloting a microlight. You might even get to soar over your own house if you're in the Cambridge area.
