i agree, seems strange
please email the caa with any thoughts,
I have done so, with the fact, that I can fly the fixed wing microlight I trained in, solo or with an instructor, I can buy one or join a syndicate, and then fly with a passenger, but, I can't hire the self same machine, and take a passenger, ?
on another theme, lets assume a fixed wing microlight again, say a Eurostar
nppl m, I have to avoid, any habitation below me
if I were a ppl, flying the same Eurostar, I can over fly habitation, with the usual previso, being able to land etc etc ?
