Introduction
C42 series aircraft are built in compliance with the airworthiness requirements
of various countries and are certified as Microlight, Ultralight, Advanced
Ultralight and Light Sport Aircraft.
To operate the aircraft the pilot must hold a license or certificate appropriate
to this category of aircraft. The aircraft is not to be flown unless it is
registered, carries registration markings in accordance with the
requirements of the country in which the aircraft is to be flown, and has a
Permit to Fly or certificate of Airworthiness valid in the country of operation.
The aircraft is to be flown under daytime VFR conditions. Flights in other
conditions than daytime VFR without the correct aircraft equipment and pilot
ratings is extremely dangerous and can result in serious injury or death.
Pilots holding licences for other categories, even higher ones, are required to
be checked out by an appropriately qualified instructor prior to flying this
aircraft as it possesses characteristics that are unique to light sport type
aircraft. These characteristics include low inertia, susceptibility to turbulence
and wind gradient and special engine considerations.
The safety of all occupants, the aircraft and persons on the ground are the
sole responsibility of the Pilot in command. Do not operate this aircraft in a
manner that would endanger the occupants, the aircraft or persons on the
ground.

Bear in mind that the engines used in C42 aircraft are not certified aviation
engines and thus may not offer the same safety standards found in other
classes of aircraft. Prepare your flight so that you can always reach an
emergency landing area should you experience engine failure. On cross
country flights, ALWAYS keep an emergency landing field in sight.
Changes to the control system, structure,
wings and engine are prohibited.
These changes would invalidate any certificate of airworthiness or permit to
fly and as such would result in an insurance becoming null and void.
All operating difficulties and equipment failures should be reported to your
dealer or the manufacturer.
For fire safety reasons, smoking is prohibited on board of the aircraft.
