Aero-Linx!

Scouring the information super airways can sometimes be a tough, if educational, task for the Aero-News staff... but it also allows us to check out some truly neat and exciting sites, so it's not that bad a gig. On any given day, we may check dozens (and often hundreds) of different sources for story ideas, and facts confirmation. And, as is the nature of our business, much of this is done on the Internet.

The ANN gang decided we probably shouldn't keep some of the neat sites, info resources, and organizations we've discovered to ourselves... so we decided to bring you Aero-Linx. These are the sites that WE check out -- when we need added perspective, a new spin on a day's topic... or just want to escape into cyber-aero-space for awhile.

Look for some of our favorite sites, coming each day to ANN via Aero-Linx. Suggestions for future Aero-Linx segments are always welcome, as well.

Aero Linx: Danish Ultralight Flying Association

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 600 members dispersed in 25 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.
