Question 2

Do I have to fill in all fields manually?

Question 7

Can I edit or delete my listing?

Accepted Answer

Yes, you can edit or delete your listing at any time through your profile. Changes to price, description, images and all other fields are unlimited. Deleted listings are immediately removed from the platform.

Question 8

Are listings reviewed?

Accepted Answer

Yes, every listing goes through automatic AI moderation that checks quality, completeness and potential spam. This ensures that only legitimate and relevant offers appear on the platform and protects both buyers and sellers.

Question 9

How does AI price estimation work?

Accepted Answer

Our AI analyzes numerous factors to estimate the market value of an ultralight aircraft: TBO status (time before overhaul), rescue system condition, avionics equipment, year of manufacture, total flight hours and current market data from comparable aircraft. The result is a well-founded price range that helps you with your purchase decision.

Question 10

Are the listings trustworthy?

Accepted Answer

We employ several checks: All listings pass through AI moderation before publication. Messages between buyers and sellers are automatically scanned for fraud indicators. Additionally, Premium Partners are marked as verified dealers. These checks are automated and do not catch every case — they do not replace your own diligence, and we give no warranty as to the integrity of individual sellers.

Question 11

How do I contact a seller?

Accepted Answer

You can contact sellers directly through our internal messaging system without revealing your email address. Simply click "Send Message" on the listing. Messages are automatically screened for fraud indicators there.

Question 12

Can I search for specific aircraft?

Accepted Answer

Yes, use our comprehensive search filters: Filter by price, year of manufacture, engine type (e.g., Rotax 912), location, MTOW and other criteria. You can also browse by manufacturer and model to find exactly the aircraft that suits you.

Question 13

Do I need an account?

Accepted Answer

You do not need an account to browse listings and use search filters. Creating your own listings, contacting sellers and using the AI price estimation requires a free registration.

Question 14

Can I sign in with Google?

Accepted Answer

Yes, in addition to classic registration via email and password, we also offer sign-in via Google OAuth. With one click on "Sign in with Google," you are quickly and securely logged in without having to create a separate password.

Question 15

What languages is the site available in?

Accepted Answer

UL-Flugzeugmarkt.de is fully available in German and English. The language can be switched at any time via the language switcher in the navigation. AI-generated descriptions are also created in both languages.

Question 16

What is a Premium Partner?

Accepted Answer

Premium Partners are professional aircraft dealers registered as verified partners on UL-Flugzeugmarkt.de. They receive a partner badge on their listings, access to a dedicated dealer dashboard with statistics and advanced management features, as well as preferred placement in search results.

Question 17

How do I recognise a scam attempt?

Accepted Answer

Typical warning signs: The enquirer mentions no details about your specific aircraft and sends a text that would fit any listing. They immediately want to move to private email, WhatsApp or Telegram. They accept the price without any negotiation. They are supposedly abroad on business and will send "delegates" or a "shipper" for the inspection. They ask for your full name, address and phone number before the aircraft has even been discussed. Or they announce payment by bank draft. Individually each of these can be harmless — when several occur together, be careful.

Question 18

What is the overpayment scam with a bank draft?

Accepted Answer

This is the most common scam in aircraft sales and the most damaging. The supposed buyer sends a cheque or transfer confirmation for considerably more than the purchase price and asks you to forward the difference to a "shipper" or "agent". Your bank credits the amount at first, so everything looks genuine. Weeks later the cheque bounces — and you are liable for the money you forwarded. The rule against it is simple: never forward money, and only hand over an aircraft once payment has actually cleared into your account, not against a payment confirmation.

Question 19

Why should I stay in the messaging system?

Accepted Answer

Because the automated fraud screening only works there. Every message sent through the internal system is automatically checked for fraud indicators, and if something stands out you receive a warning. Once communication moves to private email or phone, we see nothing of it and can no longer warn you. That is precisely why scammers try to lure you out of the messaging system as early as possible — the request to "just write directly to my email" is itself a warning sign.

Question 20

What happens when an account is identified as fraudulent?

Accepted Answer

When our AI moderation identifies a fraud attempt, the account is flagged and everyone who has previously messaged with it automatically receives an email warning with concrete guidance on what to watch out for. Anyone messaging a flagged account also sees the warning directly in the message window and must acknowledge it before writing. A decision to block an account is always made by a person, never by the AI.

Question 21

I have received a scam attempt — what should I do?

Accepted Answer

Report the message using the report icon in the conversation, or report a suspicious listing via the report function on the listing page. Both go straight to our moderation team. Do not engage with the demands and do not forward any money. If you have already given out your name, address or phone number: no financial damage arises from that alone, but expect further contact attempts from other addresses. If you have already transferred money, contact your bank immediately and file a report with the police.
