Please excuse my ignorance, but I am a bit confused as to the difference, if any, between microlights and PFA aircraft.

Given that microlights aren’t allowed to fly over built-up areas at any height (Definition? Does it incl. tiny hamlets?), at night or in IMC how are trips to La Rochelle, Mulhouse etc. possible? To answer my own question: Presumably with a great deal of planning, know-how and a bit of luck with the weather.

I was also under the impression that microlights may not fly outside the UK - but I am probably wrong there.

This “Permit to Fly” applies to what type of aircraft?
