How do you fly the Ikarus C42?

The Ikarus C42 is a two-seat, fixed tricycle gear, general aviation microlight aircraft, manufactured in Germany by Comco Ikarus. It is used primarily for flight training, touring and personal flying.

Design and development

The Ikarus C42 is a single-engined high-wing monoplane with side-by-side seats for two in a 1.22 m (48 in) wide cabin. The C42 is manufactured with either an 80 hp (60 kW) Rotax 912 engine or a 100 hp (75 kW) Rotax 912s engine. The Rotax engine has a low fuel consumption and relatively low noise. The engine drives the propeller, which has ground-adjustable pitch, through a gearbox with a 2.273:1 reduction ratio.

The aircraft is structurally supported by a backbone of large diameter aluminium tube which runs the length of the aircraft. The cabin and fuselage shell is a composite material which, being non-structural, can be removed for inspection and repair.

The wings are constructed of tubular front and rear spars. The wings and flying control surfaces are covered in Kevlar/Mylar/Polyester laminate. The wings can be removed or folded (if an optional folding kit is installed) for storage and transportation. The wing tips are of composite construction which reduces drag and improves low speed handling. Access to the cabin is provided by two gull-wing doors.

A single centre stick controls the ailerons and elevators. Electrical pitch trim is controlled by two buttons on the top of the stick, operated by the thumb. A push to talk button is on the front of the stick, operated by the index finger, together with a vertical hand-operated brake lever similar to a motorcycle front brake lever.

Rudder pedals are dual control. The distance from the seat to the pedals is fixed because the seat position is not adjustable.

The dual control throttle levers are situated between the legs, and pivot from side to side so can be folded out of the way making entry and exit of the aircraft easier.

The flaps are controlled by a centrally-mounted lever on the roof of the cabin. The relatively short lever does make the operation of lowering flaps quite physical when combined with holding the centre control stick at the same time.

Do I need a Licence to fly a microlight?

There is a new licence called the NPPL (M) which stands for National Private Pilot's Licence for Microlights. This licence is issued to you by the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) after you have completed the training course and passed the required flight and ground examinations.

Can microlights fly in rain?

Wind: Ideal conditions for microlighting are 5-10 knots, but will fly in up to 15 knots depending on other factors such as turbulence and thermic activity. Wind direction also affects safe take off and landing. Rain: It isn't necessarily dangerous to fly in light rain - but it isn't very pleasant!

How much does it cost to get a microlight license UK?

Depending on your learning ability and how often you can fly, you can get your microlight licence for just £4,000. Even if your budget can stretch to a full PPL, you may end up with two-thirds of that to spend on flying once you have your licence!

How fast can a microlight fly?

70 - 120mph
What about microlights today? Today they are fast and reliable, but still exciting. Cruising speeds of 70 - 120mph or more, up to 1000 miles or more in range and 10,000ft+ climb ability are a reflection of the wide range of performance available from modern microlights.

Can you land a microlight anywhere?

As a microlight pilot you are not restricted to flying only from airfields. You can land and take-off anywhere with the owner's permission. Microlights can take-off and land in a relatively short distance so you can sensibly visit friends by air.
