Maverick Aviation Maverick
Single Piston
The Maverick is a British-built microlight aircraft manufactured by Maverick Aviation, designed to meet UK Civil Aviation Authority microlight regulations with a maximum takeoff weight of 1,320 pounds. Developed for the recreational flying market, it represents the accessible end of general aviation where pilots can experience flight with lower operating costs and simpler certification requirements than traditional GA aircraft. The type operates within the microlight category's conservative speed envelope, with a never-exceed speed of 120 knots and a maximum structural cruising speed of 100 knots, making it well-suited for local area flying and short cross-country trips in visual conditions. Its stall characteristics are benign, with landing configuration stall around 35 knots, allowing operations from shorter grass strips and farm fields common in the UK microlight community. SkyMeter has tracked flights across airframes and operators, covering routes.
Safety in context
The incident rate counts flights with ANY safety event detected by SkyMeter — go-arounds (a routine response, not a failure), unstable-approach gate flags (advisory thresholds), rejected takeoffs (the system working as designed), and runway events. It is NOT an accident rate or fatality rate. For accident statistics, refer to the NTSB Aviation Accident Database (USA) or the Aviation Safety Network. See methodology for what each event type measures.
