About the Atec 212 Solo
Aircraft overview
The Atec 212 Solo is a Czech single seat ultralight designed and built by ATEC, a manufacturer known for lightweight composite sport aircraft. The type first flew in the early 1990s and was produced in limited numbers for the European ultralight and microlight market. It is a low wing, fixed gear, single engine aircraft intended for economical private flying, local touring and recreational use. Its significance is its focused design brief: one pilot, simple systems, light composite construction and operating costs well below those of conventional certified two seat trainers.
Performance & specifications
Published figures vary by engine fit, propeller and national ultralight weight rules, so buyers should verify the individual aircraft records. Typical reported cruise performance is around 95 to 105 knots, with range commonly quoted in the region of 300 nautical miles when equipped with standard fuel capacity. The Atec 212 Solo is usually found with a Rotax two stroke engine in the 40 hp class, most commonly the Rotax 447, driving a fixed pitch propeller. Service ceiling is generally reported at about 13,000 feet. Useful load is modest by design, since this is a single seat ultralight, and actual payload depends heavily on empty weight, fuel installation and equipment added after delivery.
Cabin & avionics
The cockpit is a compact single seat layout under a clear canopy, with conventional stick and rudder controls and a simple instrument panel. The seating position is suited to solo VFR flying rather than training or passenger carriage. Factory and owner installed avionics are typically basic: airspeed, altimeter, variometer or vertical speed indicator, compass, engine monitoring and a handheld or panel mounted VHF radio where required. Modern examples may have lightweight electronic flight displays, GPS or transponders added, but integrated suites such as Garmin Perspective or G1000 are not typical for the Atec 212 Solo.
Buying & value
Used Atec 212 Solo aircraft occupy a niche position in the market: lower cost than many two seat light sport aircraft, but with limited utility because there is no second seat. Buyers should focus on airframe condition, composite repairs, control system wear, landing gear attachments, canopy condition and complete weight and balance documentation. Engine history is especially important for Rotax two stroke installations, including hours since overhaul, gearbox condition, cooling setup and fuel system maintenance. Common value drivers include a documented Rotax replacement or overhaul, updated engine instruments, radio fit, ballistic recovery system where installed and evidence of compliant maintenance under the aircraft’s national ultralight category.
