Overview

The ICP Savannah is a Czech-designed and manufactured high-wing ultralight aircraft that has gained significant popularity in the recreational flying community since its introduction. Known for its robust construction, excellent visibility, and forgiving flight characteristics, the Savannah is available in both tricycle gear and tailwheel configurations. The aircraft is celebrated for its simplicity, reliability, and ease of maintenance, making it an ideal platform for flight training, bush flying, and personal recreational aviation. The Savannah's steel tube fuselage with fabric covering provides good durability while maintaining lightweight characteristics typical of ultralight aircraft. Its large wing area and moderate wing loading make it capable of operating from short, unprepared airstrips, which has made it particularly popular in remote regions and among bush pilots. The aircraft is available in various engine configurations, allowing operators to balance performance requirements with operational costs. The Savannah has become one of the most widely recognized ultralights globally, with a strong support network and active user community. Its affordability, both in acquisition and operating costs, combined with genuine utility for backcountry operations, has secured its position as a popular choice among ultralight enthusiasts worldwide.
