EARLIER
Most popular ultralights in Germany 2005
Last
year showed rapid increase in registered new UL aircrafts.
In Germany there were 229 new registered ULs. It is still
far away from the record year 2000 when there were 320 new UL aircrafts registered. Ikarus
C42B did a veritable come back and took the significant leading position (28 planes registered)
from CT2K the best seller of 2004. CT2K and CTSW had totally
17 new planes sold and thereby the third most sold. The second
bestseller - can you believe- was MT-03
Gyrocopter with 25 new air crafts registered. Very big
surprise indeed. You can find the whole list at www.pilots24.com
..
The beginning of 2006 seems promising although many
manufacturers struggle to get enough carbon fiber for their
air crafts. There has been longer times as usual for the buyers
to wait for the delivery of ordered plane. That is not very
amusing situation now when the strips are clear of snow and
the weather is perfect for an adventure in the skies. One of the
reasons for the present lack of carbonfiber raw material
is naturally that Boeing and Airbus "have taken after UL:s
and" use carbonfiber in their new models. 2006.04.16
Samba with larger cabin

UL meet in Switzerland
On 24th and 25th June the first Swiss fly-in for UL's will take
place at the Mollis airfield. The event is being organised by the
Swiss Microlight Federation.
Fatal UK Microligth (UL) Accidents
15 Nov 2005 an instructor and passenger of Pegasus Quick crashed during a
trial lesson. A failure of right upper fitting that had been modified incorrectly
caused the microlight to tumble manoeuvre that ended in two fatalities.
The year
2004 had 4 fatalities that is more than ever since 1989 when there were 7 people
killed in Microlight Accident. In the light of these numbers flying is still
much more safe than driving. The UK
Civil Aviation Authority
has a database of reported microlight
accidents in UK. A very useful reading for microlight and ultralight pilots. Look
also at The Irish
Air Accident Investigation Unit (AAIU)

Foreing UL's allowed

Parachute drops
from a UL in Germany
Now
the range of operations performed by ultra-light aircraft
expand with Parachute drops. UL pilots who have a minimum
of 100 flying hours are allowed to drop parachutists. The parachutist
need to have made at least 100 jumps with manual release. The UL
aircraft manufacturer must prove that the particular model is suitable
for parachute drops by completing a test programme. 20060106

U-Turn: New rescue
Rapid Inflation System (RIS)
This completely new developed rescue is a round parachute in the
sizes 38 square metres (up to 100 kilogrammes) and 42 (up to 120
kilogrammes) .U-Turn promises sovereign and fast opening. The most
important feature of a rescue is the opening time needed. The innovative
rescue PROTECT opens even at low speed fast and sovereign and provides
minimum sink rates as a big canopy - in the area of 4.2 metres/second.
A repeated application of PROTECT is allowed. The PROTECT 38 weighs
2.1 kilogrammes and has little packing measures. This improvement
of safety is made specially for paragliders. More info at http://www.u-turn.de/.. 20051129

Time to get stall warner installed
2005-05-08
Too
often sport aircraft pilot has met a sequence of events: where the
pilot is
turning on to finals; pilots attention is distracted, which causes
loss of speed control, stall and rotational entry into a spin.
The result will be steep ground impact instead of a smooth landing.
This can be avoided with an audible stall warner for example from
Aircraftspruce
, the Australian Silverwings
or Avionix.

Powergenie
USA
2005-03-29
Powergenie
is a power control unit for Rotax engines (503 through 912) and
other two-stroke engines. According to the company, with Powergenie
your hour meter will run only when the engine itself is running
, and is eliminating the need to rely on the master or engine switch.
You can power up the airplane’s electrical system on the ground
for maintenance and testing without clocking aircraft time. Powergenie
can also be used to power other equipment like beacons, strobes
and landing lights for automatic operation when the engine is running.
The weight is less than an ounce. For more information http://www.powergenie.central5.com

Dependable
floats
Josef
Fillinger who is a helicopter
engineering chairman has developed a new type of floats for
ultralight aircrafts that weight only 46 kg / pair. With the sharp

Europa in administration?
Europa Management International Ltd., the company manufacturing and marketing
the best selling Europa kits was in administration summer 2004. The company
was counting a significant investment. We have not yet received

the goods. We hope that we get more info about these matters from
you if you have any.
The administrators, Redman Nichols, asked for bids by 12 noon on Friday 30th
July. There are over 1000 Europa Aircrafts sold and probably this company will
be back on track with the splendid Europa

Light Sport Aircraft
rules are ready
At last
the sky of USA is open for affordable sport flying. The new regulations
allow 600 kg MTOW, max speed 120 kt and max stall speed 45
kt. The medical requirement is about the same as for the driving
license. The obligatory training is reasonable and less demanding
than in the European countries. It will not be permitted to fly
in the controlled air space without special training. The fixed
wing Ultralight planes of the European manufacturers are just about
right and ready for these regulations and will probably take a big
share of the market pie of LSAs. The rules are valid from the 1.
