What is an Ultralight?
An ULM is a small light aircraft for 1 or 2 persons. So far, in Belgium, we know two types of ULMs:
- ULM, which resembles a small sport aircraft.
- DPM, which is a motorized hang glider: you fly in open air.
In the future, autogyros and helicopters will also be added to this category.
Fly like a bird in an ULM
Seeing nature through the eyes of a bird, flying like a bird (but with an engine), and seeing the landscape below you from the air… That’s ULM flying!
Be part of the Future: Fly ULM You can fly locally with non-complex aircraft. But you can also take longer flights with the most modernly equipped aircraft. ULM aircraft are equipped with quiet, fuel-efficient engines and can be equipped with a parachute, the latest navigation, and safety instruments.
Flying somewhere opens up your world and brings you many friends! You are welcome in the ULM world all over Europe!
Safety First
Safe flying is one of the pillars of our actions :
- we organize seminars, safety days
- our instructors work together to improve and innovate training
- we publish on safety issues
- we work together with other stakeholders to keep safe records.
Where to fly?
BULMF is publishing a map and list of all ULM Clubs, ULM Fields and airports where you can fly and learn to fly in Belgium: our ULIPS.
