⚖️ Approximate Passenger Weight & Age Limits
Because ultralight aircraft depend on structural balance, weight and age compliance profiles are strictly observed. Each flight operates as a dedicated **single-person mountain flight** matching one client per captain.
Passengers must be **above 7 years of age** to be cleared for flight booking registration. Any minor child **under 12 years old requires explicit parental authorization** forms signed by parents or legal guardians before a boarding pass can be generated. Additionally, individual passengers must comply with weight metrics—requiring a minimum body weight of **25 KG** up to a maximum security clearance threshold of **95 KG to 100 KG**.
🛡️ Worldwide Aviation Safety Standards & Architecture
Because of low aerodynamic weight matrices, microflight aviation carries magnificent design benefits compared to commercial aircraft. High gliding values enable these delta-wing units to execute safe glide configurations and land securely even if engines are completely shut off.
✈️ Airfield Performance
Ultralights require minimal technical infrastructure, needing only a short 300-meter airfield runway clearance space to safely take off and touch down.
✓ Automated BRS Parachutes
The structural frame of each ultralight is fitted with a rocket-activated Ballistic Recovery System (BRS) parachute capable of bringing down the entire aircraft safely in an emergency.
✓ Global Multinational Crews
Flights are conducted strictly by veteran captains coming from all around the world with thousands of certified flight hours, including ex-Air Force aviators.
