The Most Surprising Ultralight Aircraft You Can Fly Without a License.
Ultralight flying offers one of the quickest and purest ways to experience the joys of aviation. Whether you're into powered parachutes, trikes, traditional fixed wings, or even amphibians and rotorcraft, ultralights offer loads of fun and excitement. And the best part? They're usually quite affordable and don’t require a license to fly. Unlike standard aircraft, ultralight aircraft are not subject to stringent FAA regulations, making them the least regulated and simplest to operate without a license. Back in 1982, the FAA introduced something called Part 103. It's a simple set of rules that applies to ultralight vehicles. With Part 103, you don't need to bother with FAA registration, any sort of pilot certificate, or even an aviation medical and you can either buy one that's ready to fly or build it yourself using kits as long as you follow the AC-103-7 guidelines. However, to qualify for Part 103, the aircraft must be a single-seater weighing less than 254 pounds and used solely for recreational or sports flying. Surprisingly, some aircraft weigh more than 254 pounds but are still considered ultralights. So, be sure to hit that like and subscribe button as we explore the most surprisingly cool planes you can fly without a license.

Thanks for sharing
Great video clips.
Scary. Brave people flying crazy machines.
Thanks for puting Metric information on the videos.
Well, nothing like the freedom these might bring, I mean.... I can feel it just thinking about flying. be safe & peace
Great video! Some beautiful planes and heli's there! And ok, so you don't need a licence to fly but I'd certainly get some rigorous training before going up in on e of these!
Love the Fokker DVII video or a full size DVII flying at Old Rhinebeck Aerodrome in New York.
Part One - Oh - Three!
Prospective UL flyers should check out the Badlands F series and the Top Rudder 103 Solo. Both are excellent, and the Badlands is offered with a four stroke engine option for those, like me, who don’t like 2 strokes.
This is an irish man narrating this video. This is video is for the USA flyers. I am sure there is many hoops to jump through in Ireland 🇮🇪 just to get even a kite into the air. Great video please do a video on irish microlite legal requirements 🙏

@Mostop - Nice video but FYI you are incorrectly pronouncing FAR Part 103. FAR is the abbreviation of _Federal Aviation Regulation_ and is pronounced F A R, not the word far. The 103 in Part 103 is pronounced 1 0 3, not one hundred and three. Since you're referring to US regulations/requirements you should use the standard American English pronunciation. Regards from Thailand!😁
in our country even drones are regulated by the authorities

As they should be because some douchebag drone drivers like to fly their drones in airplane patterns and near airplanes.
It would be nice if you had range data and cost for all the aircraft instead of just some of them.
I’m surprised nobody’s ever built a tilt rotor version of an ultralight yet!
Anyone know what the thumbnail bush plane is ? Thanks

It's the Zlin Savage Bobber, and it's sadly NOT an ultralight, otherwise I might be induced to own one.

In Europe even for a rc drone you need a licence
I could be wrong but in Canada I think a license is required to fly anything
No one says Part 100 and 3.
Narrator on the Fokker “unfortunately rendering its impact negligible…”. Do you understand it was a German plane?

The term "ultralight" and the imagery seen is being conflated with other types.
Count me out. Now if you can take me in an A380 thats another story…
Let's see how many times we can incorporate 'Part 103 Ultralight' into the text. - The writer of this crappy text, probably

The license is for competency flying over areas where other people can be hurt if there is a mishap. Unlicensed pilots are restricted to areas where there are no other people that can be hurt.
