YOU CAN FLY THIS from just 31 hours training from ZERO!

1,500+ mile range, 185 mph (162 knot) cruise, multiple world record holder and I get to fly this amazing aircraft in the UK!

The awesome Shark 600 or just Shark is now available to microlight pilots in the UK which requires just 25 hours of training as a minimum and 6 hours of complex training (this is a legal minimum and you may not achieve this) and hopefully it will shortly be available for Light Sport pilots in the US under the FAA's new MOSAIC rules. In Europe it is already an Ultralight which again has minimal license requirements.

So join me for an in depth look and flight in this unique aircraft at the UK's NEW exclusive dealer based at Little Snoring Airfield in Norfolk, England.

My name is Terry Kent and I am a General Aviation PPL private pilot operating out of North Weald EGSX about 12 miles to the north east of London in the UK. Short Field is my channel focused on the lighter side of General Aviation including flight and airfield reviews, equipment unboxing and review plus all things private pilot related. I use various cameras to record my videos including GoPro and Insta 360 and stills and edit them in Adobe Premiere Pro, I am an animator as well and often use animations to describe situations more clearly I use Blender and Adobe After Effects for these. I always attempt to post my videos in the highest possible quality, normally 4k.

I fly a 2011 Pipersport two seat single engine aircraft that is also known as the PS28 or SportCruiser in the USA (America) it is know under the FAA as an LSA or Light Sport Aircraft and can be flown on a very basic license. In the UK it is a Part 21 airplane which requires a full licence but it's generally cheap to run, affordable maintenance and great value for money. It cruises at 100 to 105 knots and has superb short take off and landing or STOL capabilities. I visit farm strips, back country and short airfields, some of them dangerous and I try not to crash :-), as well as international airports and try to learn something new every time I fly.

I fly VFR and IFR as well as visual and instrument approaches.

My videos may give helpful information to pilots but please remember these are just for entertainment, I am not an instructor nor should anything shown in my videos be used for real world aviation, also the airfields I visit may have totally changed or even closed since the making of the video so always consult the latest information for your country.

Thank you so much.

If you like my content (I don't get any revenue from this channel at all) you could buy me a coffee but no worries if you don't want too, I'm just chuffed that you are even interested in my videos, and if you ever see me at any airfields please come over and say 'Hi' and I'll probably buy you a coffee.

If you see me around please, please come over and say 'Hi'.

Anyone with the mindset that all they need to do to fly this thing is qualify with minimum hours/training is living in dreamland.. but don't worry, you won't be living there for long.

Ok people, a bit of a relaity check from somone who knows what thay are talking about. I am a Flight Instructor with 5000 hrs dual given. I have sent about 700+ student pilots on their 'First Solo". Of the 3000 different students I have trained, only 1 or 2 of them would be able to handle an aircraft of this performance level with 31 hrs of flight training experience. A very good student would be at least 150 hrs before they can even start training in this aircraft.

[funkyschnitzel]

31 hours training and a high performance sport aircraft sounds like a dangerous combination to me...

I have flown this magnificent bird in Slovakia.

[williamclarke]

How amazing is that aircraft? What an incredible and approachable light plane. A recreational craft that doesn't sell you short on speed and distance. Just perfect in every way.

[harmonised]

Lovely to see the controller enjoying your content on YouTube and chatting to you in flight! Great community, aviation! :)

N36LV builder here. With respect, I completely disagree. This is not a Lancair 4 with a very unforgiving wing below 70kts. 160kts true means 130kts indicated around 10, 000ft. With that excellent visibility and 40mph stall speed this looks like a slightly quicker version of the original Diamond Katana. One of the most memorably easiest airplanes to fly, especially in the landing phase. I applaud their efforts at fuel efficiency and cockpit design. Probably a big baby to fly….I want one!

[joaquinandes]

While flying Shark aircraft siblings Zara and Matt Rutherford each separately broke the Guinness Book of World Records as the youngest teenage pilots to circumnavigate the globe. Zara was only 19 and Matt was only 17 when they accomplished this amazing feat!!

[sextonblake]

Want one. (Lapsed PPL, not flown for about 20 years but sorely tempted.)

[ashokaliserilthamarakshan]

Nice one Terry. Looks like you had fun. It truly is an amazing aircraft. We are blessed to have all these amazing machines now in the microlight category. These can easily meet 90% of UK pilot missions and hopefully will inspire more people to take up aviation.

[LoveBikesDorel]

It may sound expensive but it’s not . I had a glider costing almost as much.It’s absolutely a beast for the money, speed, range, electronics, safety parachute and the way it looks 😮I need one asap😮

[mrsaskriders]

Wow looks like a dream machine for fun flying.

Had a chat with Stuart at Sleapfest while drooling over G-MAKO. Lovely thing, just need a lottery win!

I love Little Snoring. I did a precautionary landing there once. Great place to practice x-winds.
Some students may be ready in the time stated others may take longer. The faster speeds will be taught in the Nav groundschool.
Times will be taught in proportion to the TAS and ground speed, so instead of trundling along at 98 kts, +or- the wind, your doing 160kts.
So, stating that students will or will not be ready in the quoted times is like asking how long is a piece of string.
And, if the student fails to demonstrate the required competence in any particular skill during the test, then they would have to be trained up to the required standard in order to pass the test. It's not a case of being ready in a certain amount of time, it's a case of having the competence to pass the test.
So, it's horses for courses either they will complete their training in those times, or they won't.

All the instructors dropping in their qualifications suggesting a 100hp aircraft is high perfomance.. low stall speed and a same HP as a Cessna 152 Suggest it's actually safer than a c152

Awesome aircraft thank you for posting, off out to purchase a lottery ticket. 🤣🛩

[bodieb.]

Beautiful aircraft. OMG it actually doesn't even strike me as dangerous when flown and respected.

[bjorn]

OMG, my most favourite YouTuber and my most favourite plane has come together. Sipping a G&T while watching.

I started in an "Ultralight", here in the USA. 254 pounds in weight empty/dry, max 54 knots. NO license at all needed. Flew my Maxair drifter over 90 hours. I had 4 hours of dual instruction in a Cessna 150 when I soloed my ultralight. I even looped it. The loop happened at a fly-in where we were mock dog fighting. I couldn't shake this trike turning so I decided to use my superior speed (i might have replaced the stock 28 hp engine with a 60 hp) get out in front of him and then pull hard around to get "guns" on him. I actually climbed and turned, looking over my shoulder. It was more of a cork screw than a loop but I did get my shot on him, coming over the top upside down. 3 engine outs, an accidental loop and I took it down for IRAN. It was close to coming apart in key areas! The "Micro Light" is way more airplane. I would have died trying to learn to fly in a Shark. I am 69 now, so getting in that hot rod would test my limits...

In USA we will have to wait until the MOSAIC rule come into effect. But the completion is big and will come down to who can offer the most for the money.
