1 Introduction
1.1 Ten Rules of Safe Flying
I. Observe all regulations applicable to operation of ultralight (UL) aircraft.
II. Do not overestimate your piloting skills and never show off in front of spectators.
Quite to the contrary, practice emergency landing at suitable locations.
III. Watch the weather and its development all the time. Do not attempt long flight if
storms, clouds or icing are likely to occur.
IV. Monitor fuel level frequently, not only by watching the needles, but also by
comparing the flight time with actual fuel consumption.
V. Always choose your bearing and altitude so that you will be able to make
emergency landing.
VI. Always fly with a sufficient speed margin, especially during the take-off and
landing.
VII. Do not perform nor mimic any aerobatic figures (e.g. stall turns) even if you feel
that your piloting skills and aircraft handling qualities would allow aerobatic
manoeuvres.
VIII. Under no circumstances, not even for a very short period of time, exceed the never-
exceed speed Vne.
IX. Do not minimize navigation. Do not fly into unknown areas without appropriate
navigation preparation and aids (map, compass).
X. Fly only when you are in good physical and mental condition.
