What is the mandatory documentation on board a ULM?

The aerial operation of ultra-light-structured aircraft in Spain is regulated by Royal Decree 2876/1982, which regulates the registration and use of ultra-light-structured aircraft, in addition to the Order of 24 April 1985 regulating ultra-light flight.

The documentation to be kept on board the ULM is as follows:

• Pilot documentation: Licence in force with corresponding rating, class II medical certificate or LAPL.
• Aircraft documentation: registration certificate (except for aircraft weighing less than 70 kg), certificate of airworthiness, station licence (if fitted with radio or other equipment using radio spectrum), aircraft insurance in force and aircraft flight manual. According to Article 22 of Law 48/1960 on Air Navigation: the aircraft logbook, the engine booklet and the propeller booklet, where applicable, shall be kept up to date in a safe place and at the disposal of the authorities that may require them.
• Other documentation: updated letters of the area in which you will make the flight.

Minimum aircraft equipment: first-aid kit (aircraft), portable fire extinguisher in the pilot compartment, and replacement fuses, if applicable.
