Urząd Lotnictwa Cywilnego certified ALTO NG in Poland by issuing type certificate UL-A.00-002/2024
The Type Approval Recognition Certificate certifies that the ultralight aircraft type/model ALTO NG has been found acceptable in Republic of Poland in accordance with the applicable Polish Civil Aviation regulations. ALTO NG was entered into the list of approved types of flying equipment in the Republic of Poland on 06/04/2024.
The company Direct Fly has an exclusive dealer since 1.6. 2024 in Poland. The exclusive partner is the company J&J Team, which is based at the airport in Lešno (EPLS). The partner branch will also include an authorized ALTO NG aircraft service and a flight school.
J&J Team employs mechanics with many years of experience, the repair shop has modern diagnostic equipment, and the authorized ROTAX engine service provides comprehensive warranty and post-warranty repairs. J&J Team is the official training entity of the Civil Aviation Authority. It offers training courses for pilots, instructors and mechanics.
It is also a co-organizer of the traditional Ultralight Days Leszno – the largest Polish event, dedicated exclusively to aircraft of the ULM / LSA category.
ALTO NG, which is certified in Poland for 600 kg MTOW, will be represented by an experienced and strong partner.

The new instrument panel refers to the iconic aircraft of Zlín
The ALTO NG is known as an aircraft that is pleasant to fly. The ALTO NG’s larger instrument panel enables a better arrangement of instruments and greater combinations. The glass cockpit display (which is increasingly in demand) can be placed directly in front of the pilot.
We still build aircraft equipped with classic flight and engine instruments and Trig avionics, but often they also have Garmin G5 EFIS, Garmin Aera 760 GPS and autopilot. This set-up is increasingly popular among pilots/owners, as it allows you to fly according to the route entered into the GPS and therefore does not require a full glass cockpit.
We like to install the Garmin autopilot, because it can control the balance of the plane and copes even in turbulent weather. The control panel is logically and clearly structured and enables quick synchronization of heading and altitude by tapping the rotary controls. Thanks to the IAS mode, it can maintain the selected speed during climb and descent and can relieve the pilot, for example, when flying through controlled areas.
The convenience provided by the autopilot is addictive and has long since ceased to be a privilege only for longer distances.
The development of the new dashboard took several months. With the new shape of the ALTO NG instrument panel, we thus adhere to the tradition of UL aviation in the Czech Republic.
The German Association of Ultralight Aviation DULV issued on 23.10.2024 type certificate for ALTO NG.
ALTO NG aircraft of DIRECT FLY s.r.o. was certified in accordance with the German Certification Code. Type certificate no: 1011-24 1 was issued for ALTO NG model 912ULS / Woodcomp KW-21.
In Germany, the certification process itself requires precise preparation of documents and overall communication with the relevant authority. The certification process also includes a personal visit by a certification official and an audit at the manufacturer’s location. It went without any complications.
ALTO NG aims to become the aircraft of first choice especially in flight schools.
Aircraft of Direct Fly s.r.o. – ALTO NG was an exclusive adrenaline point at Masaryk Racing days
The Masaryk Racing Days event is a traditional celebration of speed, when a strong competition of drivers from the Central European region will take to the starting grids. This year the GT cars were presented in two sprint races and one endurance race. And just before the second race, an extraordinary adrenaline experience was prepared for the visitors. The planes of the Direct Fly company landed on the finish line, after a short exhibition they took off directly from the starting grid and started the GT race with a fly-by.
The ALTO NG air exhibition at the Masaryk circuit took place on September 8, 2024. We prepared the event in cooperation with the Brno Automotodrome for several weeks and paid attention to compliance with all applicable regulations, as well as the safety of machines, crew and visitors.

Twenty-eight Alto aircraft, forty-seven aircraft in total, almost a hundred visitors. New metallic Alto NG accompanied by a tail dragger Alto TW. That is a short summary of 1st ALTO FLY-IN, that Direct Fly hosted on a third Saturday in May 2023 at Medlánky Airfield.
Fly ins started shortly after 9AM. Weather across the Czech Republic was changing throughout the day, that’s why the opening ceremony moved to half past ten. Nevertheless weather in Medlánky was beautiful for the rest of the day, so most of the visitors ended the day with sun kissed cheeks.
After the company’s CEO welcomed all quests, synchronized flight exhibition of Alto NG and STOL Cruiser took place right above the quests’ heads. Following walk through production with presentation of riveting and avionics installation was a huge success. Instead of the half an hour that the tour was planned to last, it took three times that long with their interesting questions, basically till they realised they were hungry. Very welcomed lunch was provided by local brewery.
After that the new high wing STOL Cruiser was introduced by the engineer who has been a part of this project since it was just an idea. A look in the future was followed by the company’s owner reminiscing about the beginnings of Direct Fly and its most successful aircraft Alto.
The event was attended not only by Czech aviation enthusiasts but by visitors from Poland and Turkey as well. For the first time in history Zongshen engines were introduced in the Czech Republic by ZAEC company.
Many thanks to those who attended the first edition of our Alto Fly In. We hope that after such a great beginning it will become a very successful tradition.

Even pilots in Australia are carefully observing our developments with the STOL Cruiser project. Short article has beeen published in an online version of a local Sport Pilot magazine about the newly designed aircraft and its flight tests. Australia seems to be an ideal market for STOL type aircraft. Aircraft that are able to take-off and land on a short and unpaved surfaces. Also for this category the atypically high cruise speed and flight performance of STOL Cruiser is well appreciated added value for a comfortable traveling on longer distances.

Since 2018 Direct Fly supplies light sport aircraft Alto to Australia. Seventh piece is on its way to Melbourne’s port to our colleagues from AeroEdge Australia right this moment.



Last couple days, whenever the weather allows, we fly and test the new aircraft intensively.



Flight performance and characteristics are really positive so far. We were pleased by stall and cruise speed, as well as by take-off distance and climb rate. For a tail dragger the view from the cockpit is excellent, both on the ground as well as during flight. The cabin is also huge for this category.
We will gradually test other flight configurations and evaluate results of flight tests. Based on that additional adjustments and improvements can be designed and made and data refined for following strength tests.
STOL Cruiser is developed in cooperation with Czech Technical University in Prague. This project was co-financed with state support of Technology Agency of the Czech Republic in EPSILON programme.
