First-ever Ultralight Days celebrates 40th anniversary of Part 103 rules

By General Aviation News Staff · January 31, 2022 ·

Experts from throughout the ultralight community will share their knowledge during the Experimental Aircraft Association’s inaugural EAA Virtual Ultralight Days Feb. 22-24, 2022.

The event includes 15 webinars spread over three days, available free of charge.

The live sessions will be hosted by experts in the ultralight community, with question-and-answer periods to address specific questions.

“As we celebrate the 40th anniversary of the FAA Part 103 regulations that created the modern ultralight movement, EAA Virtual Ultralight Days is a way to make our community stronger, safer, and more fun,” said Timm Bogenhagen, EAA Ultralight and Light Plane Community Manager. “This three-day event connects well with EAA’s mission to grow participation in aviation by sharing The Spirit of Aviation, inviting everyone to learn and develop their own skills and knowledge.”

Topics covered include how to get started in Ultralights; how-to instructions on a variety of Ultralight aircraft like gyroplanes, powered parachutes, and trikes; and other important topics, such as maintenance, airport operations, safety inspections, and more.

All sessions are free of charge to everyone, with the archived presentations available to EAA members afterward. Pre-registration is encouraged, with registration links and additional schedule information available at EAA.org/UltralightDays.
