Ultralight aviation (called microlight aviation in some countries) is the flying of lightweight, one or two seat fixed-wing aircraft. During the late 1970s and early 1980s, mostly stimulated by the hang gliding movement, many people sought affordable powered flight. As a result, many aviation authorities set up definitions of lightweight, slow-flying aeroplanes that could be subject to minimum regulations (i.e. no pilot's liscence is required to fly ultralights in the United States). The resulting aeroplanes are commonly called "ultralight aircraft" or "microlights", although the weight and speed limits differ from country to country.

Nigel used a microlight to fly with some Nyctosaurus. While flying with the pterosaurs, he observes a Deinosuchus catching and eating one of a Nyctosaurus, and later spots another one swimming up a creek. He then lands the microlight in order to follow the Deinosuchus up the creek.
