When camping in a light aircraft<\/a>, choosing a sleeping area<\/a>  is usually the biggest challenge. Many people choose to sleep underneath the wing or beside the aircraft. This is useful as it can provide some shelter from the wind and elements. Because aprons are typically nice and flat it makes sleeping comfortable. However this can also mean wind can really become an issue if it picks up. You may find your tent can get buffeted around as the only shelter you have is the aircraft.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you’re taking your own tent, be sure to select a model that is compact and lightweight. Anything that will add unnecessary weight or size to your cargo (e.g. a swag) can be a burden when flying, especially for weight and balance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A good option for camping in a light aircraft is to use an inflatable hiking mattress and pillow. This will help keep you comfortable and insulated from the ground whilst minimizing weight and space.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
