An ultralight aircraft is a device called an aerodyne, an aircraft that was conceived for sport and tourist flights, it’s lightweight and therefore low consumption. The aircraft can be a single-seater or a two-seater and is single-engine, but there are more different models. The reason for the appearance of these types of aircraft, is that many people who love the recreational flight wanted to enjoy their hobby in a more affordable way. For this reason they began constructing aerodynes in the 70s, since they were much cheaper devices to build and maintain. They also were ideal for people who like to practice their flying hobby, because you can acquire an ultralight aircraft or rent one for a fairly economic price. Nowadays it is necessary to have an Ultralight Aircraft Pilot License. Due to great security deficiencies, regulations have been made to handle this type of aircraft. So now it is obligatory to have this license. If you like to fly and you think it is one of the most exciting activities to do, try flying an ultralight aircraft. Of course you can try to get the pilot certificate, so that you can fly the ultralight aircraft yourself whenever you want, but you can also hire tourist flights with different companies, that will make you enjoy the journey up in the air in full.
