Our Aircraft
Mid Anglia Aviation providing trial flights and full pilot training on Fixedwing, Flexwing, and super sophisticated 600 KG modern high speed aircraft.
G-CLPT. C42 Charlie 560kg MTOW
German Manufactured. The C42 is the benchmark for fixed wing pilot training. The latest Light Sport Aircraft made by Comco.
Cleared to fly at 560kg MTOW. The Charlie model is the highest performer in the MALSA Ab Initio training fleet. Off the ground in 50 metres, its performance is far superior to most group A light aircraft. In the air its roll response can take it from 60 degrees to 60 degrees in 3 seconds yet it can also be a docile long distance cruiser. MALSA has 3 C42 aircraft in the fleet.
P&M GT450 Weightshift / Flexwing
The GT450 has been established for many years as the choice for those wishing to have the open air experience. Among the aircraft in its class, it is the easiest to learn to fly due to its compliant bar control to wing system.
GT450. Made by P&M in the UK until 2020 when the company transferred its manufacturing overseas. Designed by Dr Bill Brookes as one of a number of aircraft built by P&M it is aimed squarely at ease of operation for pilot training. However, it is a very competent distance traveller for everything from the local flight to touring.
Skyleader J400 - G-???? 600kg LSM
Sitting between the C42 defacto training machine and the super sophisticated Shark 600 is the newest addition to the fleet and it is a mid point specification model. It is the Skyleader 400 being built in the factory in the Czech republic.
The C42 is very simple to learn to fly having only a control stick, throttle, flap lever and a foot control for each foot.
The Shark on the other hand has retractable undercarriage, propellor pitch control, autopilot and many features as part of the inbuilt EFIS computor. It’s speed (150kts +) and agility requires a higher degree of skill and demands a level of currency to fly it well and therefore safely.
There has been a need for something in between. Offering the next level of sophistication above the C42, equipped with less “toys” than Shark, but still new, modern and sophisticated. It is the first to a Flying School in the UK and another first for Mid Anglia Aviation.
Already cleared to fly in the 600kg LSM category, it is seen here in demonstator guise with its native registration. Our actual aircraft is due for build completion by end of the second week in January 2026. Test flying in Czech will follow as soon as weather allows, after that we will be setting the program for flying it to the UK.
The aircraft will be added to the Mid Anglia Aviation training fleet ready for the new flying season once we have it here so watch this space for further details as soon as we have pictures of our new aircraft.
The futures not just bright – its -orange-
Shark S600 G-MAAL 600kg MTOW
Slovakian manufactured sophisticated aircraft – the ultimate flying machine for going places. Flying is enjoyable when comfortably seated in ergonomically designed adjustable seats in an aircraft capable of safely covering distance in a short time. In this aircraft, everything falls within easy reach. The tandem layout means the views are fantastic from either side and manoeuvrability second to none. This is a record breaker in both speed and endurance. A fighter aircraft in all but size and price.
The ultimate fast fixed wing experience which is available for trial flights with our qualified flying instructors.
