Breezer Aircraft is a producer of light sport aircraft and ultralight aircraft from Schleswig-Holstein . The company's headquarters are in the municipality of Reußenköge , the business premises in the neighboring town of Bredstedt .
history
It all started with the development of a prototype for an ultralight aircraft, the Aerostyle Breezer, at the end of the nineties by today's head of the Aircraft division, Ralf Magnussen. In line with the objective of producing the prototype in greater numbers and with further improved quality, the company was founded in 2006 and expanded to include additional business areas.
Corporate structure
Today the company is divided into four business areas.
- range Aircraft
The core competence of this area lies in the development and production of ultralight aircraft and light sport aircraft . He is the nucleus of the company.
- Service area
This division is responsible for maintenance, repairs, spare parts supply and inspections of the aircraft produced. This area is supported by a network of service partners.
- Area Flight Training Center
This is an education and training center for budding flight instructors and pilots of microlight aircraft. The scope of services also includes briefing customers on the technology and operation of the aircraft produced, as well as chartering Breezer-UL. Several times a year, so-called "air adventure tours" are offered as guided tours for Breezer pilots to destinations abroad, as well as special crosswind training with simulator support.
- Area Sales & Finance
The division is ultimately responsible for marketing the aircraft. The company also acts as an intermediary for financing services and insurance.
Planes
Three structurally different versions of the Breezer are produced. These are, on the one hand, the ultra-light version Breezer B400 and the Light Sport Aircraft version Breezer B600 and Breezer Sport. The following different equipment variants are available:

Unlike many other LSA available on the US market, the LSA versions can also be approved in the German “ Echo Class ” (D-Exxx) with a so-called 'Permit to Fly' . In order to avoid the restrictions associated with this approval e.g. Breezer Aircraft is currently (2015) aiming for certification as a manufacturer for the European LSA class.
Airfield
In cooperation with the Luftsportverein Nordfriesland, the company operates the associated factory runway in the northeast of the city of Bredstedt. The approval as a runway exists for ultralight aircraft and so-called echo aircraft up to a maximum take-off weight of 600 kg. The runway is a grass runway approx. 420 × 30 m. A 15 m wide terra-grid strip is also embedded on half of the runway . The aviation club is represented at the airfield with hangars and a clubhouse. The operating license as an airfield was granted in exchange with the previous landing site of the association in the neighboring municipality of Bordelum.
