"there is no distinction between a "microlight" aeroplane and any other type of aeroplane"
In the UK there certainly is. See
http://www.caa.co.uk/default.aspx?ca...90&pageid=1474
Which is why I would advise that clarification is sought from the CAA
before anyone buys into a Jodel D-9 syndicate.
The Rotax Falke is a touring motor glider:
'Touring Motor Glider - A motor glider having a certificate of airworthiness issued or accepted by any JAA Member State having an integrally mounted, non-retractable engine and a non-retractable propeller It shall be capable of taking off and climbing under its own power according to its flight manual.'
A maximum of 30 hours' credit for PIC time in gliders or touring motor gliders (including Vigilant) is allowable towards the 200 hours total experience time required for the modular CPL. But again, contact the BGA and CAA for further details, including whether you would need a TMG Rating to fly it.
