About the experience
Ready to soar through the skies? Experience the thrill of flying in a Light Sport Aircraft at Saltby Airfield! Even though these lessons are technically in the microlight class, it feels just like flying in a regular light aircraft. If you're not familiar with Saltby, it's nestled in the East Midlands between Melton Mowbray and Grantham, just off the A1. Originally a bustling Second World War USAF base, Saltby Airfield is now a peaceful rural spot used for recreational flying and lessons. While much of the original infrastructure has vanished, you can still catch glimpses of its historic past. The entrance to the airfield is off a single-track lane connecting the villages of Skillington and Sproxton, and a warm welcome awaits you at the cozy clubhouse. Despite its small size, the school operates with high professionalism, focusing on teaching aspiring aviators the skills to fly a light sport plane in a fun and relaxed atmosphere. All instructors are CAA trained, and strict safety procedures are in place. Your lesson starts with a ground briefing before taking to the skies. Once you're in level flight, it's your turn to take the controls or simply sit back and soak in the stunning views. Book today and seize your chance to conquer the skies!
