SSEA SLMG Microlight differences NPPL
The licensing rules for UK pilots seem very obfuscated. My question is about the UK NPPL.
What is the difference between SSEA, SLMG, and Microlight in terms of the license? Are these weight, engine, and passenger differences? They donīt appear to be in a hierarchy as expected.
Secondly do these differences in license correlate to aircraft classifications themselves? It appears in other countries that you would have microlight, then LSA, then GA aircraft increasing in weight and capability each time and licensing or training to correlate. Do we use equivalent ratings or something else?
Could really do with some help clearing this confusion.
If this needs to be in a different part of the forum could a mod move it please.
