An ultra-light aircraft independently developed by China got the special flight permit and completed its delivery test flight on March 11, according to China Aviation News.

A2C-L ultra-light aircraft is developed by the AVIC Special Vehicle Research Institute after the A2C seaplane achieved commercial success. The aircraft is transformed and updated from the seaplane and finished its test flight in 2012.

A2C seaplane is the first ultra-light aircraft that obtained a certificate of model design approval and a production permit issued by Civil Aviation Administration of China.

Nearly 100 A2C planes have been sold to regions including Sichuan, Hubei, Anhui, Inner Mongolia and Xinjiang.

This type of plane has been used in sowing, deinsectization, aerial sightseeing, aerial sports, aerial shooting, environmental detection, geological exploration and rescue. The plane has executed over 1,000 low altitude aerial mapping missions.
