Note: A LEGAL ultralight is limited to 1 seat and requires no pilot certificate to fly. A 2-seat "ultralight" is, in fact, a Light Sport Airplane and requires a pilot certificate to fly. There is no such thing as a "legal 2-seat ultralight."

What would have you done differently, if at all?
DId all the right things: situational awareness, he had an eye on a field, concentrated on flying the plane and keeping his airspeed, and treated the field just like any other grass strip. I wonder if he was a glider pilot as this is something taught from first lesson in gliders.
He did great. Altitude is yer buddy, the field looked funky, but knowing the landing roll out of your bird will help out.
Looked like there was a little bit of a dip in the terrain that came up to greet him. One thing to be mindful of when flying in hilly country! Great job though!
Agreed.
@@CourtneyTakesFlight it’s kinda like landing on the deck of a pitching aircraft carrier. Best to land with the ridge either uphill or down, instead of across. But you do what you have to with no power. Love the channel!
Thanks Courtney! Just made a note to recheck my fuel system more closely before the next flight...
You're welcome.
I wouldn't describe that as harrowing. A simple engine failure in an ultralight. The sort of thing that we pilots need to keep up to date with.
RUclips algorithms love keywords like harrowing, so I had to put something like that in. That said, folks who didn't train for engine-outs will find it harrowing! :)
What is the synonym of harrowing;
agonizing, chilling, distressing, disturbing.
With lots of practice for an engine out, I still think many would find it somewhat harrowing. I know I would.
Cheers
Good thing he had plenty of open space, always keep an eye out for a place to land!👀👍
Exactly.
Probably would have done the same, , ,,,it was a good landing, walked away with a machine that was still flyable by the looks
He did fix the issue And fly out.
Great vid! Thanks Courtney.
You're welcome.
Thanks again Courtney.
You're welcome!
He did a good job!
That he did.
Great job!
Thank you! Cheers!
👍
I wonder why the engine stopped. Was it a 503 or 582?
air in fuel line. I don't know which engine.
Hey guys...not tryin to be an ass here , just making an observation...I've been flying since about 1990 in several different aircraft...every one of them that had a pulse pump feeding the engine (including the one I fly right now) has both bubbles in the fuel lines and an airspace at the top of the fuel filter....I often see people talk about "air in the fuel line" and I really dont know what they are talking about unless they mean the pump loses its prime or something blocks the fuel for long enough for the lines to go empty....@@CourtneyTakesFlight
This is not a FAA Part 103 compliant “Ultralight craft/vehicle”… this is an Experimental/Sport AIRCRAFT. You need to point that out in your subsequent “Ultralight” videos or they will be deemed as just so much clickbait faulty misinformation garbage.
I'm damned if I do, damned if I don't. How about reading the description below the video where I explain just that? Better yet, make your own video and show me how it's done. Deal?
BTW, it's a Light Sport AIRPLANE, not aircraft. If you're going to criticize, be accurate. Good day.
