Just curious to know if hours spent on this aircraft are to be logged as multi engine time?! Moreover, I have seen modifications of this aircraft to have 2 jet engines!! Could this be entered as jet time logged in the logbook?!

I have often had the same thought, but withought doing any research and only using that video I don't think the Cri Cri would weigh over the minimum amount to be loggable.

Otherwise people would be using ultalights to clock up SE time and the Cri Cri to log ME time. Approaching 'Easy' with a fATPL 300hrs on 172's/Seneca's and then 700hrs of Ultalight/CriCri time would probably still be classed as having 300hrs and not the 1,000hrs.

Would be a nice loophole if it worked though. But I assume it's classed as a Sport Plane / LSA?

I too was not sure about the weight category and have a feeling it's too 'light' to fly so it may count in the logbook! Nevertheless, the MC-15 seems to really have excellent performance and I'm sure it's dead cheap to run!
