The microlight revolution

摘要

Microlights were once considered to be limited in operation, being slow and with restrictive structurai loading iimits. Then, in 2021, the UK's Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) increased the weight definition iimit on microiights to 600kg. Now, two-seater 3-axis controi tourers such as the Skyranger Ninja, lkarus C42 and Eurofox can do most of the things that a conventionai Cessna or Piper does, but at much iess cost and with more relaxed pilot iicensing and aircraft servicing requirements.
