Aeropro Eurofox Eurofox

Single Piston

The Aeropro Eurofox is a Slovak-built high-wing taildragger that occupies the sweet spot between traditional ultralight simplicity and modern light-sport capability. Introduced in the early 2000s by Aeropro of Prievidza, Slovakia, the Eurofox combines a steel-tube fuselage with fabric covering and a distinctive swept vertical stabilizer, delivering short-field performance that rivals purpose-built bush planes while remaining affordable and maintainable. Powered by Rotax 912-series engines (typically the 80 hp 912 UL or 100 hp 912 ULS), the type is popular across Europe for touring, flight training, and recreational flying, with particularly strong adoption in the UK under the SSDR (Single Seat Deregulated) and microlight permit schemes. Its large flaps and low stall speeds make it forgiving for grass-strip operations, while cruise speeds around 100 knots keep cross-country flights practical. The Eurofox's modular construction allows owner-builders to assemble kits or purchase factory-completed aircraft, contributing to its presence in the experimental and permit-to-fly categories. SkyMeter has tracked flights across airframes and operators, with distinct routes observed.

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.
