About the Airborne Systems AS 22

The Airborne Systems AS 22 is a German-designed ultralight aircraft that emerged from the European light sport aviation movement of the 1990s. Built by Airborne Systems GmbH, this single-engine, high-wing design targets the European 450-kilogram ultralight category, offering affordable recreational flying with docile handling characteristics suitable for sport pilots and flight training operations. The AS 22 features conventional tricycle landing gear and side-by-side seating for two occupants under a spacious canopy, with fabric-covered wings and a welded steel-tube fuselage typical of cost-effective ultralight construction.

Its Rotax powerplant delivers modest cruise speeds around 80 knots while maintaining excellent short-field performance and fuel economy that appeals to budget-conscious private owners and flying clubs across Germany and Central Europe. The type remains relatively obscure outside German-speaking markets, where it competes with other European ultralights like the Ikarus C42 and Comco Ikarus. SkyMeter has tracked flights across airframes and operators, with distinct routes observed.
