I would possibly like to join your meeting on Monday the 24th of this month, but cannot find the location in my GPS. Could someone give me more location details, and meeting information?
I live in union and am interested in learning how to fly ultralights. I was learining gliders years back. interested in finding a 103 safe airport. I goto blairstown airport often i know that is a good field. dont know if anyone has any recommendations where to go and talk to other ultralight pilots.
I am looking for a CFI that is willing to train a sport's pilot in an LSA ultralight (not 103 compliant). I would consider either training in the CFI's aircraft or in my own. Please let me know if there is anyone you can connect me with.
Hi. I am interested in taking a ride in an ultralight to confirm my interest. Any suggestions? I am in the Philly/South Jersey area. Thanks. I'm A&P, Comm, Multi, Inst, but have not flown for a while.
Thanks, george
Hello I'm appears to find a ultralight instructor in NJ or NY. I'm interested to learn and fly a ultralight.
Please some barry know something let me know. Thanks. .
Dave, unfortunately I personally do not know any USUA instructors in NJ. Even the USUA which is located in Lewes Delaware about 2 hours from our area does not list any in Delaware. The FAA lists Light sport aircraft flight instructors and there are two listed for NJ. http://www.faa.gov/licenses_certificates/airmen_certification/spo rt_pilot/media/airplane
. You are welcome to attend our next meeting on the last Monday of January 2016 and talk to other members. Our meeting location is at the bottom of our home page
Hello from Morris , NJ. So it appears trying to find ultralight instruction outside of CA or FL is like finding a needle in a haystack. Are there any recommendations in the New Jersey area that are not defunct? I am looking for an USUA ultralight certification.

Part 103 of the of the FAR Federal Aviation Regulations explains the criteria for the ultralight category. The short short answer is the weight of aircraft cannot exceed 254 pounds (empty weight) and the fuel capacity cannot exceed 5 gallons. The aircraft cannot be capable to exceed 55 knots (calibrated) lastly had the power off stall speed which does not exceed 24 knots.
