As a JAR PPL(A) license holder with SEP and TMG ratings, the one thing that would help to make microlight's more desirable to me would be the ability to log hours towards keeping my license/ratings valid. Something that is not possible at present.
Having flown in a Thruster, AX3 and a Pegasus CT2K I would agree that 3-axis microlights are 'proper little aeroplanes
' so why can't we use these hours to revalidate?
