NJ Ultralights

Congratulations! You have started on an adventure in aviation. For some reason you have chosen to step away from every day life towards the sky. We hope the journey is as exciting, rewarding and fulfilling for you as it has been for us.

Based in Northern New Jersey, NJ Ultralights (wonder where we got our name from!) is based at Trinca Airport in Green township. This is only 5 minutes from exit 19 on Route 80 and revolves around an amazing 2,400 ft grass strip in a glorious rural environment. With easy access and really friendly instructors your journey toward your pilot qualification will be everything you could possibly dream and then some.

At N.J.U. we emphasize safety first second and last, you will become confident pilot, knowledgeable in all skills required in flying and sharing the air with others. You will work toward your Sports Pilot qualification and if you want can continue toward your instructor rating.

NJ Ultralights provides a both a concentrated 7-10 day or weekend training program that will get most students solo qualified within that period as well as individually scheduled sessions. However you should remember the time to solo varies as every student is different and weather also plays a significant role in determining whether the allotted 7-10 day period will be sufficient. It usually is, if the student is motivated enough to take advantage of every flying opportunity (student pilots need to fly within a couple of hours of sunrise and sunset to take advantage of the calmest flying conditions). Early mornings are essential but so is breakfast after the training!

Now that Sport Pilot is a reality, NJ Ultralights will start training new pilots to the Sport Pilot standards -- 15 hours dual and 5 hours supervised solo. GA pilots will be trained to solo proficiency (there are no minimum hourly requirements for GA pilots). We will also direct and help you in self-paced ground school studies to meet FAA written / practical test requirements. Most instructors and schools can only provide part-time instruction because they have other jobs they maintain. Here at NJ Ultralights we have full time Instructors that are committed to your success as a career.

For customers purchasing an aircraft with us who can take advantage of our 7-10 day program we can custom tailor a program to meet most peoples needs, such as the phased approach. In the phased approach we strive to complete a single flight training phase in 1-2 or 3 days. Our syllabus is designed after that used successfully by general aviation for years and is currently in line with FAA requirement. It fully integrates ground and flight instruction, getting you into the air and gaining those valuable wings.
