A low stall speed of 63 to 65 kmph and an excellent glide ratio makes our microlights safer than other microlights and conventional aircraft. These incomparable characteristics help in easy handling even in cases of turbulance or mid-air engine failure. The remarkable feature which makes our microlights 100% safe is the presence of on-board “Parachute Recovery System”, in the unlikely event of any mid-air emergency, a parachute can be deployed which helps the microlight and its occupants descend to the safety of the ground.
