8. The amendment to the Rules on ultralight aircraft introduces a different regulation for ultralight aircraft up to and including 120 kg (devices with basic weight of the empty device not exceeding 120 kg). Due to the simplicity of the device and its potential impact on the environment, such devices are subject to simplified (milder) requirements which make it easier for the owner to use such a device. Similar regulation exists in neighbouring countries, whose devices with foreign registration numbers already fly in Slovenian airspace.
The changes are formed on the basis of the German regulation, where special certification specifications are designed for such devices. This category of devices also does not require certification (device type certificate) exclusively from the competent aviation authority, but such type approval for safe flying may also be carried out by an organization accredited for general conformity assessment of products for the European market or ‘certification house for general technical goods’, such as SIQ, TUV Slovenia, etc. These organizations are certified in a similar way to certified organizations in aviation, they have a certified scope of work, are subject to constant supervision by the competent state authority, etc. Likewise, the type of ‘device up to 120 kg’ is also approved (certified) by the competent aviation authority according to the certification specifications applicable to ultralight aircraft (e.g. motor aircraft up to MTOM 600 kg), which is contained in the proposal of the regulation and considering that so far there are no ‘certification houses’, which would have in their scope of work designs for certifying aircraft with an internal combustion engine, nor machines with an internal combustion engine.
The amendments also include the requirements for pilots of ‘devices up to 120 kg’ as well as some other minor changes that have proved necessary in the implementation of the current Rules, such as construction requirements or certification specifications for those types of devices that do not yet exist in Slovenia, requirements for sufficient fuel, the size of the notification of the use of the device and other changes.
9. The main objective of drafting amendments to the existing rules is to introduce a simplified regulation for ultralight aircraft up to and including 120 kg, for which it makes sense to apply less stringent requirements due to their simplicity and lower risk of their use.
