Does the Challenger qualify as an Advanced Ultralight or as a Basic?
Yes to both. It is important to understand that the privileges and restrictions applicable to the two types of Ultralight do not apply to generic Challenger models but to individual aircraft based upon their specific registration status. The Challenger type definition is on the Transport Canada list of approved Advanced Ultralights. To register a new Challenger as Advanced requires submitting a Statement Of Conformity with the aircraft’s serial number. There are no special requirements to register as a Basic Ultralight.
