Avia Club Nepal

Avia Club Nepal offers ultralight flights from Pokhara, Nepal. The site says the company has flown from Pokhara since 1996. It calls itself a pioneer in ultralight flights in Nepal. The flights give views of the Himalayas, lakes, rivers and valleys.

The site lists four flight options. These are a 15 minute fly for fun flight, a 30 minute flight over Mount Fishtail, a 60 minute mountain range flight and a 90 minute flight into the heart of the mountains. The company also offers sports and recreation aviation training.

The site explains what an ultralight is. It is a two seat powered aircraft for a pilot and one passenger. It can carry up to 90 litres of fuel. Its total weight is under 600 kg with fuel and people on board. Its speed limit is 130 km/h, and average speed is about 80 km/h. It needs about 300 metres of runway to take off and land.

Passengers can weigh up to 110 kg. Staff check weights on company scales and may stop a flight if the limit is passed. Each passenger must read and sign a liability waiver before flying. A passenger under 18 needs a parent or guardian to sign.

The site warns that flights can be delayed or cancelled. Weather, airport limits and the pilot's judgement can all cause a launch to be aborted. The pilot may also change the route because of weather or air traffic control instructions.

The site says the pilots are highly trained professionals. It says many have thousands of ultralight flight hours and have flown with the company for several years. The site lists several phone numbers and a Facebook page. It also has a booking page and a frequently asked questions page.
