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."

Feel free to make comments!
The second aircraft is a Raj Hamsa X,Air. The kit is made in India. Probably the most popular microlight in Ireland.
Thank you.
your best video yet on flight safety, good job Courtney, keeping us safe in the skies, we appreciate it
Thank you.
OK..the microlight on the left is a XAIR..i used to own one and is a very forgiven aircraft too, unfortunately, pilot error and misjudgment are very common among us, special if you decide to fly over a dense forest or unfamiliar ground without checking the map of your destination, but most of all the health of the engine.. i had a friend who had a crash with this type of aircraft and his femur went through the pod...only because he couldn't bother to change the plugs, therefore, he had an engine failure..
Sorry to hear. A needless injury.
Great advise.
Thank you.
Excellent illustration and advice, as usual!
Thank you.
It sounded like the Flightstar had an uncommanded RPM drop moments before the seizure. I’ve had two occasions where that happened. A quick reduction in throttle was enough to save the engine before it seized and bought me enough time to pick a better landing site. (Both 'almost seizures' were caused by a 'good deal' on some dodgy oil I bought.)
Avoid dodgy oil!
I think there's a strong correlation between crashing and stupid.
LOL, and factually correct, too.
Even Bentleys and Lambos break down, you have to remember that in aviation. That pilot from the movie who flies low over the trees should consider a twin-engine plane. Low flying is attractive, but dangerous in a single-engine plane.
There are safe sites to fly "low and slow" but this pilot choose a hostile site.
If it was just trees I think the guy would be ok with a few scratches. But this last crash head on terrain is what might have made it worse 1:31
A fall from 60 feet is not something one easily walks away from.
