Add some specific accessories

To make the gift as interesting as possible, you can complete the voucher with a gift set on the same theme. It can be a book about aviation, a miniature airplane model or even a themed keychain.

If you have a bigger budget and you know that the recipient of the gift is passionate about aviation, you can also give him accessories suitable for flying, such as aviator sunglasses or an aviation-themed belt.

Make sure that the voucher is valid for a date and time convenient for the person to whom you are giving this experience, or offer them the opportunity to choose their own flight date.

What does the experience of an initiation flight with an ultralight airplane consist of?

Do you want to give as a gift a voucher for an initiation flight with an ultralight plane or have you yourself received a voucher for a flight as a gift? This is really excellent news! You have one more step to a wonderful and unforgettable experience. Here is what you need to know about this experience, so that you are fully prepared for it.

What happens on the day of the flight?

Before the flight, you will receive a briefing from the instructor, consisting of instructions related to the flight, controls and safety. During the flight, you will have the opportunity to pilot the plane yourself and find out how it feels to be in control of the aircraft in the air. You will spend 20, 30 or 60 minutes in the air (the flight itself), depending on the package chosen, and the promised adventure will be an extraordinary one.

Once you get on the plane, you will receive a pair of headphones, so you can hear the conversations between the instructor and the air traffic control tower. You will also be able to communicate with each other, so that you can be guided in the first lesson. In the air you will be able to take control, but the pilot will have the command during takeoff and landing.

What is an ultralight plane and how fast does it fly?

An ultralight plane is an engine-powered aircraft, with a maximum weight allowed on board of 450 kilograms and two seats. Most ultralight aircraft fly between 113 and 130 km/h, but newer fixed-wing models fly at speeds similar to light aircraft, up to 240 km/h in some cases.

What type of plane will I "pilot"?

In Bucharest, you will be able to take the first flight on an ultralight Ikarus C42 2-seater plane (pilot and co-pilot), with double control. This plane is the most popular ultralight school plane in Europe, the leader of the German market for decades, known as the "BMW of the skies", which, thanks to its light weight and high maneuverability, offers the possibility of exceptional recreational flights.

How safe is flying with an ultralight plane?

Flying an ultralight plane is no more dangerous than driving a car. All planes are completely safe and conform to industry standards and undergo very strict annual inspections.

Will I be alone on the plane?

During the entire flight you will be accompanied by a flight instructor, very well trained and experienced, so that you are in the safest possible hands. In addition, the plane has dual control, so you will not be exposed to any risk.

Where will the fight take place?

It will take off from the Clinceni or Fly Friends (Small Hunters) airfields, both located a few km from Bucharest.

Are there specific conditions?

The minimum age for flying is 18 years. The maximum weight allowed is 100 kg, and pregnant women cannot fly.
No qualifications are required for the initiation flight in an ultralight aircraft.

When can I take the initiation flight?

The initiation flight with an ultrasolar plane can take place anytime between March and November, in favorable weather conditions. Availability varies depending on the location, but it is recommended to make the reservation in time, to ensure that there is enough data available before the voucher expires, which is usually 6 months.

Do you want to specialize in ultralight aircraft flights?

If you discover a real passion for flying with an ultralight plane, you can try to get your pilot's license on such aircraft.

Keep learning

Ultralight aircraft can be easy to fly, but it's important to keep learning and improving your skills as you accumulate flight hours. Participating in continuous training courses and practical flights is essential to become an experienced and safe pilot.

Solo flights

After you accumulate enough experience and gain confidence, you will have the opportunity to fly solo. In this stage, you will fly without the direct supervision of the instructor, but under the supervision of the regulatory authorities.

Ultralight aircraft pilot's license

After completing the training requirements and obtaining the necessary experience, you will be able to obtain an ultralight pilot's license. This will allow you to fly independently and explore the world of aviation further.

Make sure you always follow the safety rules and aviation regulations when flying ultralight aircraft. Flying can offer wonderful experiences, but safety must always be the main priority.
