Welcome to Danish Ultralight Flying Association!
In Denmark ultralight flying started in the early 80`es. Today there are about 240 ultralight aircraft organized by the Danish Ultralight Flying Association. Membership of both the association and a UL-club is compulsory to fly Ultralight. The association has approximately 480 members dispersed in 24 local UL-clubs.
In Denmark obtaining an Ultralight license requires the same theoretical education and examination of the pilot as a license for a sportsplane. After min. 15 hours practice with an instructor in a two-seater and min. 5 hours solo-flying, the pilot may be ready for the final test that leads to the UL-Certificate. After the certificate has been obtained and after min. 25 hours of solo practice, the pilot can submit to an examination that qualifies the pilot to bring along one passenger.
