Sackville Flying Club

Hello and welcome to Sackville Flying Club! You can find us in an enjoyable rural location in North Bedfordshire, which is a fantastic area for takeoffs and landings and home to a wonderful group of aviators that share their passion about flying. The main activities we practise here are power flying, microlight and gliding. Many of our instructors have qualifications in all three disciplines.

At our friendly airfield we also celebrate wonderful hot air ballooning activities and we have more launches now than previously, that’s why we host the Grass Roots Ballon Meet every autumn, a very lively event that is becoming more and more popular throughout the years. Everyone agrees that this is a magical event; if you see it once, you will want to come back.

Visitors are more than welcome here and we offer trial flights so they can see what is like. Would you like to take it more serious and learn how to become a pilot? You will receive top training course because all our instructors are certified under the British Microlight Aircraft Association (BMAA) and the British Gliding Association (BGA).

Our club is a great place to fly and share your hobby and passion with many other enthusiasts. Contact Sackville Flying Club today and bring along your friends and family for a wonderful and unforgettable day.

You will enjoy flying in great company if you come to Sackville Flying Club Aircraft Flights. Here we offer you the opportunity to join us and we also provide great training if you want to learn how to fly a microlight or a normal power plane.

All our pilots –most of them were our students too- are certified under the British Microlight Aircraft Association (BMAA) and can teach you how to acquire the Private Pilot’s License. But if you just want to try the experience for the first time, they also offer trial flights.

Our most popular activity is the Microlight Experience, which consists of one hour flight where you will have plenty of time to handle the controls while enjoying the stunning views of the countryside. If that is not enough for you, we also offer the Land Away Trip, which means two hours in the air, landing at another airfield and flying back.

Why don’t you give a flight voucher as a present for your most adventurous loved ones? We will be more than happy to answer all your requests. Just contact Sackville Flying Club Aircraft Flights and we will provide you all the details as soon as possible.

Come to Sackville Flying Club Gliding and feel what it’s like to fly as if you were a bird. Gliders are unpowered aircrafts that go up through the sky and cover large distances without any problems. By using their large wings, they easily fly in the air currents generated by the sun when it heats the ground and by the wind that blows over the mountains.

Flights can be as far as 300km to 500km during the warm summer days. At our airfield, glider pilots regularly fly as far as Yorkshire and the Welsh Borders. Our club is home to many pilots who share this passion for gliding, so here you will feel like home. Our British Gliding Association instructors offer you training and also a trial flight if you are curious about this air sport.

Among our facilities, we are proud to have a 730 metre-long grass runway, a clubhouse, workshop buildings, uncontrolled airspace and a big shelter for the aircrafts with plenty of space. Gliding is a truly exciting adventure that you will never forget. With Sackville Flying Club Gliding you are in good hands.
