Aeroprakt A22L Foxbat
The A22L is the lightest, most maneuverable member of the Foxbat family. Powered by the 4-stroke liquid-cooled Rotax 912ULS 100 hp engine, it is perfect for farm/station work and for the sport pilot who often flies on their own for sheer flying enjoyment.
It has a certified legal carrying capacity of around 190 kilos, although the airframe is stressed to be safe to carry up to around 250 kilos. This weight has to include the pilot, passenger/co-pilot, fuel and baggage.
Its empty weight is around 260 kilos, so with 100 hp to play with, you get a very sprightly aircraft! The record short take-off by an experienced pilot in an A22L is about 25 metres!
