News from Ekolot re JK-05 and KR-30

Ekolot posted the following news about their JK-05 Junior and KR-030 Topaz aircraft today.


02.02.2010 Fulfilment of technical requirements certificate.

After 4 years of testing, researching, preparing technical documentation and various ground and airborne tests The Polish Civil Aviation Office issued approval certificates for construction of our aircraft JK-05 Junior and KR-30 Topaz, placing both aircraft in the register of qualified aircraft types. The certificates have number 1 and 2, which means that we are the first Polish ultralight manufacturer that went successfully through the complicated process of aircraft certification.
Earlier, The Polish Civil Aviation Office granted us the certificate of design, production and operation of the aircraft. Now, on the basis of all the above certificates we will be able to improve the quality of service delivered to our client - it concerns both the process of registration and operation.
