A short article was written for the German magazine Flieger at the Aero Friedrichshafen 2025. Our Alto NG has a German type certificate and is undoubtedly an interesting option for the German market.
We cordially invite you to visit our booth at the Aero Friedrichshafen exhibition, where you will see our all-metal Alto NG, which we offer in three variants: Ready To Fly, Quick Kit and Basic Kit. The Alto NG is also certified by the German DULV authority, which confirms its high quality and reliability.
Our company Direct Fly has more than 250 aircraft manufactured, and in addition to their sale we also offer a comprehensive Technology transfer.
At our stand you will have the opportunity to:
- Explore the Alto NG, equipped with the Edge Performance EP915EC engine, delivering 120 HP with potential for towing gliders.
- Watch a rudder assembly demonstration and discover the benefits of our unique Hole to Hole technology, which allows the aircraft to be assembled from primed parts without the need for drilling.
- Discuss the benefits of the Alto NG, purchasing options, or possible collaboration within our network of dealers and partners.
We look forward to meeting you! ✈️
A mobile phone is an invaluable tool for an ultralight pilot. It can serve as a navigation aid, provide current weather information, or help with flight planning. As part of the update of phone case designs, you will now find three different variants with Alto NG graphics on the Flying Revue website. This way you don’t have to worry about damaging it and you can also enjoy the beautiful design.

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.

Krátké video z předávání novému majiteli:
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.
