Sittles Flying Club
was formed 15 years ago and is home
to 20 aircraft and 35 members. The airfield is at Sittles Farm and situated
0.5 miles east of the A38 near Lichfield. Details can be found on our
Airfield link.
The club has strong connections with the Midland
Microlight Flying Club which was formed way back in 1981 and was the
first of its kind in the Midlands area, in fact, one of the first in the
country.
There is a waiting list to join Sittles as a
flying member, contact our secretary for details.
We have various types of
aircraft ranging from flexwings to hot ships. See our
Photo's page.
Last year, due to gravel
excavation works, we have had to move our runway to a different site,
over the road. We had no choice in this matter and fortunately the land
owners were very accommodating in helping us to re-locate. Lichfield
District Council were also sympathetic and understanding regarding our
planning permission. For this
reason we have had to impose a PPR policy to all new visitors to the airfield.
The runway layouts are new to everyone and, like all airfields, exhibit
certain peculiarities that we must all be aware of.
See our PPR page for details.
Flying instruction for
Microlights can be obtained from our neighbours, The Microlight Flying
School (Lichfield) or from Simon Baker at Midland Microlights. Group "A" licence tuition is available from Derby or
Tatenhill, see our Links page for details, but no training takes place
from Sittles airfield.
Sittles is an Unlicensed
airfield.
Please have a little
"jolly" around our web site. There are many links to various pages
and useful information that you will only find by exploring, and maybe fly in and visit us one day.
Try out our
FUN page. Go to
the Firework Fun and then click as fast as you can on the picture. Also
see our video clips.
And remember this!
When a pilot has 50 hours
they know it all. When a pilot has 500 hours they know they know it all.
When a pilot has 5000 hours they know that they will NEVER know it all.
Safe flying.
