A Airlony Skylane UL flies about 891 nm, roughly 1,650 km, which is about 7 h 53 min in still air at typical cruise.
A Airlony Skylane UL costs about EUR 589 a month to run, or about EUR 77 for every flight hour when it is flown 150 hours a year.
The Airlony Skylane UL is a Czech built ultralight and light sport type produced by Airlony, designed as a two seat, high wing aircraft for private touring, training and recreational flying. The design appeared in the early 2000s and has been offered in ultralight configurations for European markets, where low operating costs, simple maintenance and short field capability are important buying factors. It should be assessed as its own model, not as a derivative of larger certified Skylane aircraft.
Typical Airlony Skylane UL examples are powered by Rotax four cylinder engines, most commonly the 80 hp Rotax 912 UL or the 100 hp Rotax 912 ULS, driving a fixed pitch or ground adjustable propeller. Published figures vary by engine, propeller and national weight category, but buyers commonly see cruise speeds around 90 to 105 knots, with range often quoted in the region of 400 to 500 nautical miles when equipped with standard fuel. Service ceiling is generally stated around 13,000 feet. Useful load depends heavily on empty weight, equipment fit and whether the aircraft is registered under a 450 kg, 472.5 kg or other applicable microlight limit.
The cabin is arranged for two occupants side by side, with a high wing layout that gives good downward visibility and straightforward entry compared with many low wing ultralights. Expect a compact cabin rather than a touring aircraft interior, with baggage capacity governed by weight and balance limitations. Avionics are normally VFR focused. Typical used aircraft may have analogue flight instruments, engine monitoring for the Rotax installation, a VHF radio and transponder, or light glass panel equipment from suppliers such as Dynon, MGL or Garmin portable and experimental avionics lines. Integrated suites such as Garmin G1000 or Garmin Perspective are not typical for this model.
Used Airlony Skylane UL aircraft are usually positioned as economical personal aircraft for pilots who want a simple high wing ultralight with Rotax supportability. Inspection should focus on airframe condition, control system rigging, landing gear history, fuel system condition, propeller logs and complete Rotax maintenance records, including gearbox, carburetor and rubber component time limits. Confirm the exact registration category, maximum takeoff weight, empty weight and installed equipment, since these determine real payload. Common value factors include the 100 hp engine, modern VFR avionics, ballistic parachute installation where approved, hangar storage and documented compliance with service bulletins.
