We see the Jabiru UL-D as a go anywhere distance crunching aircraft that is ideally suited to Microlight flying schools. It is very economical to run and with reliability proven in the 2 seater aircraft which has been flying now for 15 years. The Certified UL-D is the culmination of a major certification program taking lessons learnt over 15 years and bringing them together into a very refined training Microlight. Many changes were made including winglets, two inch wider doors, newly designed engine cowlings and refined performance enhancements all round. Moving the fuel into the wings increased the capacity to 70L and the incorporation of a header tank added 6L and allows all of the wing tanks capacity to be used making a total of 76 litres. Two level sensors are fitted into the header and illuminate a warning lamp on the instrument panel should the fuel level ever get that low. In turn this created a voluminous luggage area behind the seats, making it much easier to load and go touring. Low maintenance fibreglass construction means less time in the workshop and lower outgoings at permit renewal time. As there is no fabric covering to worry about and the aircraft is painted it will happily live outside if hangerage is not available. The engine is a 85hp purpose-built horizontally opposed air cooled four cylinder power unit with dual ignition systems and hydraulic valve lifters. It is direct drive, fitted with a silencer and provides smooth quiet effortless power for minimal operating cost.

Why go for a Jab?
Fibreglass construction hence no potential long term corrosion or stress cracking issues
More mph for your ££ than any other microlight.
World speed record holder for 3 axis microlights.
Performance figures stated are proven in UK customer aircraft rather than 'test' aircraft.
Proven direct drive 85bhp Jabiru 2200 engine with realistically priced spares.
Safe handling characteristics from a design that has been refined over 15 years of ongoing development. Proven passenger safety cell in the event of a crash. When considering other aircraft think “How protected am I if the aircraft ends up upside down, is there protection and can I get out”.
Modern look and feel for flying school fleets, attract new students and compete with the group “A” schools by training on a sleek modern aircraft that has a roomier cabin than traditional trainers and out performs them in cruise, take-off, climb and economy.

Approval Status
The UL-D is fully approved in the UK by the CAA, meaning it can be used for Microlight flight training.

What’s included?
The Jabiru UL-D is supplied ready to fly, complete with engine, silencer, alternator, propeller, VFR instruments, spats, Microair 760 Radio, VOX Intercom and Headsets. It also comes with UK registration, Permit to Fly and log books.

Flying Schools
We will be offering a leasing option that will allow you to add the Jabiru UL-D to your fleet without tying up capital. Based upon contracted minimum hours, you can have the UL-D available for a fixed hourly rate. Flying schools operating our aircraft will qualify as “Jabiru Flight Centre” and benefit from our marketing exposure.
