We often hear fans of particular ultralight designs making claims that their
model of airplane is “the most popular ultralight in Canada.”
After hearing a couple of different designs try to claim that honour I decided
to do some research. According to the TC Civil Aircraft Register, as of March
2004, here are the most commonly registered ultralight designs (basic and
advanced):
- Lazair (all models) 460
- Beaver (all models) 446
- Challenger (all models) 366 (including one amateur-built Challenger)
- Quicksilver (all models) 296
- Chinook (all models) 285
- Six Chuter (all models) 131
Of course this doesn’t prove which aircraft have more examples actually flying
in Canada – just that those are the total registered.
Since some of these designs are no longer being produced, like the Lazair, it is
likely that positions on this list will change in time!
