I came up with one or two that I admit I don't know the answer to. Microlights.

First off, can anyone point me to the proper definition of a Microlight?

Second, it seems you can fly Microlights both on an NPPL and a PPL. Formally there is no JAA definition for a Microlight so they're included in the SEP(A) class on a PPL. But for the NPPL they are considered a separate class, for which you need a class rating, right? And I saw a link to some ANO changes effective Jan 31st. I haven't followed up on it, but can anybody summarize the practical implications?

Any other exceptions for Microlights? I understand a PPL/FI can get renumeration for flight instruction, even if he/she doesn't hold a CPL?

And is there a legal difference somewhere between a three-axis and a weight-shift? Or is it just one license that catches all?

Oh, and how about the VLA class?
