Frequently Asked Questions — Atec
What ATEC aircraft models are available?
ATEC v.o.s. is a Czech manufacturer producing the Zephyr (low-wing trainer/tourer, 500+ flying worldwide) and the Faeta (evolved from Zephyr with carbon fiber construction). The Zephyr was described as one of the safest ultralights ever, using Rotax 912ULS power. The Faeta NG is the current production model, certified for both ultralight (UL) and light sport (S-LSA) categories.
How does the ATEC Faeta compare to other Czech LSAs?
The Faeta competes with the TL-2000 Sting, Evektor SportStar, and Czech Sport Aircraft SportCruiser. Its carbon fiber fuselage and composite sandwich wings provide low weight and smooth aerodynamics. The low-wing bubble canopy design offers sporty aesthetics and good visibility. ATEC emphasizes flight characteristics, performance, manoeuvrability and low consumption as the Zephyr/Faeta family's key strengths.
Is the ATEC Zephyr still a good buy used?
With 500+ operating worldwide and a proven safety record, used Zephyrs are a solid choice for touring and training on a budget. Production ended in 2021 in favor of the Faeta NG, so used Zephyrs are available at attractive prices. The Rotax 912ULS engine has excellent parts support globally. Check for any SBs and verify maintenance history through an ultralight-experienced mechanic.
