Hurrah! Something which we can do but you cannot. Makes a change.
We were the same as you until a couple of months ago but the micro
organasation convinced the CAA that on the evidence we were no more likey
to crash on a town than any other GA a/ and the CAA agreed. The
restriction was removed.

Of course, the congested area prohibition applies only to Part 103
ultralights, which most Kolbs are not. Most Kolbs here are certificated,
with no congested area restriction (after the test hours are flown off) but
with the usual altitude restrictions. True ultralights (like my UltraStar
and my PPG's) have the congested area prohibition, but no altitude
restrictions... I'd rather be legal to fly below 500' but not over towns
than the other way around.
