This year we went to the Expo with a goal: test an ultralight helicopter to incorporate into our flight school. The video of that test is below, as well as other pictures that we made.
The prevailing wind in our area is kosava, a strong southeast wind from the Carpathian Mountains that usually blows the strongest during the fall and winter, usually reaching speeds up to 20 m/s. However, yesterday we experienced an unusually strong wind for this time of the year (12 – 15 m/s) and one of our gyroplane pilots managed to make this video.
The championship this year was focused on navigation tasks, with a single precision landing after the route. The winner in the airplane division was a pilot from our flight school.

The championship was again held on our airfield. For the first time we added a new contest in the form of a navigational task. Our pilot and instructor won the competition both for the ultralight airplane and gyroplane.
Our school has trained six new pilots in the last week. This strongly sets us as the number one ultralight flight school in Serbia and as a strong competitor for the Balkan region.
We now have a tailwheel airplane in our school, Zenair CH601 XL. With a cruise speed of 210km/h, range of 1150km, and a robust metal construction, it will be a great addition to our fleet
