What Can I Expect

Fabulous flying lessons near Marlborough out of Clench Common Airfield! Get airborne over the North Wessex Downs. We are offering vouchers for 30 and 60-minute flights in a modern light sports aircraft.

These fully-enclosed super light Ikarus C42 aircraft boast all the advantages of microlights, without any of the disadvantages. The popular C42 is easy to maintain, reliable and comfortable, with operating costs that make learning to fly in one of these (as opposed to a regular light aircraft) really accessible.

This Marlborough team is well versed in all the latest light sporting aircraft technology. As well as flying lessons and pilot training, things like servicing, maintenance, hangarage and aircraft sales also come under their remit here at Clench Common.

All this makes for a bustling place, so don't be surprised if you see quite a few different aircraft parked up on the day of your lesson - an extra bonus for aviation fans.

As an airfield, Clench Common is actually quite a challenging one for pilots, with the ridges of the North Wessex Downs often creating some tricky thermals. Luckily, the Ikarus has forgiving handling, so even total beginners should be able to hone those smooth 'straight and level' flying skills from the very first lesson.

We must mention the teaching at this airfield is excellent too. Owner and Chief Flying Instructor/Examiner Graham has been in the business of flight training and lessons since 1991, so you're in very wise hands. Isn't it time you got yourself booked in for a flying lesson above Marlborough from Clench Common?
