    The document defines an ultralight aircraft as a propeller-driven aircraft that can carry no more than 2 occupants, has a maximum takeoff weight of less than 480kg for a two-seater or 285kg for a single-seater, and has a maximum stall speed of less than 45mph. It provides formulas for calculating the minimum useful load and maximum empty weight of ultralight aircraft based on engine power and the number of seats. Regulations regarding radio equipment and transponder requirements are described for aircraft operating in Hong Kong, Singapore, and Malaysia.

    3. Definition of Ultralight Aircraft

    An "ultralight aircraft" refers to an aircraft designed to meet the following criteria:

    (a) Propeller-driven

    (b) Accommodating no more than 2 occupants (including the pilot)

    (c) Aircraft's maximum takeoff weight, MTomax(Weight, WTomax)

    (1) For land-based aircraft

    (i) Single-seater, 285.0 kilograms (628.3 pounds), or

    (ii) Two-seater, 480.0 kilograms (10,582 pounds), or

    (2) For seaplanes, additional allowed mass (weight) is:

    (i) Single-seater, 35.0 kilograms (77.2 pounds), or

    (ii) Two-seater, 70.0 kilograms (154.4 pounds); and


    (d) The maximum stall speed Vso in the landing configuration does not exceed 72 kilometers per hour
    (45 miles per hour) indicated airspeed (IAS) as recommended by the manufacturer for the maximum
    takeoff weight (weight); and

    (e) Limited to non-aerobatic operations. Non-aerobatic operations include:

    (1) Normal flight maneuvers;

    (2) Stalls and spins (if approved for the aircraft model);

    (3) Lazy eights, chandelles; and

    (4) Steep turns with a bank angle not exceeding 60 degrees.

    5. Minimum Useful Load


    For ultralight aircraft, the minimum useful load MU (WU) should be calculated as follows:

    (a) For single-seater aircraft:

    MU = 80 + 0.3P (kilograms); where P is the engine rated power in kilowatts.

    (WU = 175 + 0.5P (pounds); where P is the engine rated power in brake horsepower)

    (b) For two-seater aircraft:

    MU = 160 + 0.3P (kilograms); where P is the engine rated power in kilowatts.

    (WU = 350 + 0.5P (pounds); where P is the engine rated power in brake horsepower)

    Maximum Empty Weight

    The maximum empty weight MEmax (weight WEmax) includes all the equipment that is actually installed
    on the aircraft. It encompasses the airframe, powerplant, necessary equipment, optional and
    specialized equipment, fixed ballast, the mass (weight) of all engine cooling fluids, hydraulic fluids,
    and unusable fuel and oil.

    Therefore, the maximum empty weight (weight) = maximum takeoff weight (weight) - minimum
    useful load.

    HongKong
    2.1 With reference to Schedule 6 of the Air Navigation (Hong Kong) Order 1995 : (a) Hong Kong
    International Airport is notified for the purpose of paragraph 2(1)(c). This means all aircraft making
    an approach to landing at Hong Kong International Airport shall carry radio equipment capable of
    enabling the aircraft to make an approach to landing using the ILS, unless otherwise permitted by
    ATC. Fixed wing aircraft and helicopters with a maximum total weight authorized not exceeding 2 730
    kg when engaged in local flying within Hong Kong are exempted from this requirement. (b) The Hong
    Kong Control Zone and Hong Kong Terminal Area are notified for the purposes of paragraph 2(2)(b).
    This means that all aircraft operating in these areas regardless of flight level or altitude shall carry a
    SSR 4096 code transponder capable of functioning in Mode A and C and complying with the
    specifications of ICAO Annex 10 Volume IV.
