The ideal candidate will already be checked out to fly three axis microlights and have at least a few hours since gaining that qualification.
Even better if they are also willing and able to get involved in the maintenance of the plane.
G-VIDA is a premium, factory-built 2021 Eurofox 3K (nosewheel configuration) engineered for efficient, high-end cross-country touring.
Based at Balado Airfield in Scotland with the Fox Flying Group.
The aircraft is a fully loaded example of the modern 3-axis microlight category, striking a perfect balance between Short Takeoff and Landing (STOL) agility and long-range cruising efficiency.
Key Specifications & Performance:-
Engine & FADEC: Powered by the fuel-injected Rotax 912iS engine. It utilizes Full Authority Digital Engine Control (FADEC), which optimizes the fuel-air mixture automatically. This setup completely eliminates the need for manual mixture controls or carburettor heat.
Fuel Economy:-
The FEDEC control system is incredibly efficient, resulting in only 12 litres of fuel per hour while maintaining a comfortable economy cruise speed of roughly 90–95 knots.
Airframe & Hours:-
Built in late 2021, the airframe has roughly 500 hours Total Time (TT). It operates under the 560kg microlight regime with an exemplary British Microlight Aircraft Association (BMAA) Permit to Fly record.
Unlike basic factory layouts, G-VIDA features a highly upgraded, dual-device charging panel layout to sustain modern electronic flight bags (EFBs) over long flights.
The primary avionics suite include a Dynon Glass Cockpit.
The premium digital "glass" flight deck replaces traditional analogue gauges with clear, multi-function flight displays.
Coupled Autopilot: Integrated directly into the flight management system to reduce pilot workload on cross-country legs.
Kanardia Horis backup.
A standalone Electronic Flight Instrument System (EFIS) providing vital redundancy for attitude and altitude if the main system loses power.
PilotAware ADS-B: Provides real-time traffic awareness, directly streaming air traffic data to tablets running flight navigation software like SkyDemon.
Safety Systems:-
For maximum peace of mind over rough terrain or water, G-VIDA is equipped with a BRS ballistic parachute system. In the event of a catastrophic emergency, a solid-propellant rocket deploys a parachute to safely lower the entire airframe and its occupants to the ground.
