Core Viewpoint - The recent death of a popular figure in low-altitude aviation has raised concerns about the safety and regulation of ultralight aircraft in China, highlighting the need for stricter oversight and better training for enthusiasts [2][3][4]. Regulatory Environment - Ultralight aircraft in China are defined as single-pilot vehicles used for recreational purposes that do not require a license, but they must still adhere to specific regulations, such as avoiding densely populated areas and maintaining visual flight rules [3][4]. - The current regulatory framework allows for a degree of freedom for flying enthusiasts, but there are calls for more stringent regulations, especially for more complex aircraft types like gyroplanes [3][4]. Safety Concerns - The incident involving a helicopter crash during a sightseeing tour underscores the potential dangers associated with low-altitude aviation, prompting temporary suspensions of similar activities until safety assessments are completed [4]. - The rapid growth of low-altitude tourism, supported by government initiatives, has increased pressure on safety regulations, necessitating a focus on operational safety over profitability [4][5]. Industry Challenges - The low-altitude economy is facing significant challenges in airworthiness certification, with a dramatic increase in the number of unmanned aerial vehicle manufacturers and models requiring certification, which has overwhelmed existing resources [5]. - The shortage of qualified personnel for airworthiness certification is a critical bottleneck that needs to be addressed to support the growth of the low-altitude economy [5][6].
