The Aviasud AE-209 Albatros is a two-seat high-wing ultralight aircraft. Aviasud Engineering from
Fréjus, France developed this largely from strengthened synthetic built 2-seat highwing ULM-aeroplane
with push-propeller. Production of the AE-209 Albatros started in 1992. The Albatros is available with
the 2-stroke Rotax 582 and the 4-stroke Rotax 912 engine. The Albatros classique is equipped with a
tail wheel; the Albatros tricycle is equipped wit a nose wheel or tail wheel. The wings can be folded,
which reduces the needed parking space in the hangar.
The 1997-built Aviasud AE-209 Albatros s/n 123 was registered PH-2Y9 in the Netherlands on 17 March 1997. Aviasud AE-209 Albatros PH-2Y9
is powered by a Rotax 582 UL engine. On 10 September 2005, Aviasud AE-209 Albatros PH-2Y9 was seen at Ultraleicht Flugplatz
Dankern near Haren (Ems) in Germany.
