mikrolightultralight

Mikrolight and ultralight aircraft are small, lightweight aircraft designed for personal use, recreational flying, and training. They are typically single-engine, low-wing aircraft with a gross weight of less than 1,000 pounds (454 kg). These aircraft are often used for cross-country flying, aerobatics, and as a means of transportation for short distances.

Mikrolights are a subset of ultralights, characterized by their even lighter weight and simpler design. They typically have a gross weight of less than 600 pounds (272 kg) and are often used for recreational flying and training. Mikrolights are often equipped with a fixed landing gear and a simple, low-wing design.

Ultralights, on the other hand, are designed for a wider range of uses, including personal transportation, recreational flying, and training. They are often equipped with a retractable landing gear and a more complex design, allowing for a wider range of flying conditions.

Both mikrolights and ultralights are subject to strict regulations and certification requirements, ensuring that they are safe and reliable for their intended use. They are often used by pilots who are seeking a more affordable and accessible way to experience the joy of flying.
