EASA and Non-EASA aircraft hours
Good day all,
I hope this is the right place for this question. I'm a flight instructor in South Africa who will soon be stepping on the EASA bandwagon and converting my license. In the mean time, I've been offered a job closer to home part time instructing on an aircraft called the Sling 2 . In South Africa it falls under the LSA/VLA category but the time can be logged towards an ATPL. As far as I can see by this page, It is listed as non-easa and amateur built. If my goal is hours that count and are recognized for the initial issue of an EASA ATPL, will I be able to instruct and use these hours?
Many Thanks!

EASA is in my experience good with any hours on an aeroplane which doesn't fall into what's classed as "microlights" in Europe. It is more complex than that, but as a first order check, anything that has a stall speed greater than 35kCAS and/or an MTOW above 473kg is an "aeroplane" and you're fine.
