So does this mean we can (again, i stress, when (if) this is adopted) call a microlight an 'aeroplane' and use those hours for validity??!! EASA don't recognize a microlight at all but the whole point of this amendment was that EASA realized that there were all kinds of Annex II types that could be suitable and so they needed to expand so it wasn't just restricted to EASA types... If we had to fit a microlight into one of those provided categories then it best fits into 'aeroplane' and I suppose that would be one way of interpreting the wording? By omission of another category to put it in it must be in that one!
And thanks guys for such speedy and insightful replies!
