Ultra Light Aircraft is a small light weight airplane with an engine. Once launched in to the air, this aircraft, in the right conditions can switch off its engine and glide through the air almost like a hang-glider. The cockpit can be either enclosed or open depending on the aircraft. It gets its name for its light weight frame and was originally designed to be a cheap way for the armature air sport recreationalist to get air borne.

During an Ultra light flight, you can have the experience of free flight without the danger or risk associate with complete free flight. You have the engine to help in landing and takeoff and should weather conditions change. In the early days, the status of these aircraft used to be poor due to fragile and unstable design. Nowadays with proper building and registration methods, the ultra light is a unique, safe and fun way to fly. There is just enough room in the cockpit for you and your pilot, the bubble dome like window allows you spectacular views without being exposed to the weather elements. So you can sit back in comfort and enjoy your moment in the clouds. And of course, your pilot is full trained and registered to make sure your flight is safe and enjoyable.

The best time to fly is early in the morning. An ultra light allows you to get up to heights of 5000m and it allows you more control and direction to cover greater distance that paragliding or hot air ballooning.
