75.
Temporarily - I hope - lost my Class 1 medical for a CPL but will re-apply when the statutory 6 months has passed, tho not prepared to spend a lot of money jumping through too many hoops, but the Recreational Licence will probably be within my grasp, i.e. effectively a PPL to Microlight rules, one of which is only 1 passenger - I can live with that, covers most single engine 4 - seaters
Meanwhile medically fit to continue with the microlight licence - Microlight ? 100 hp. Rotax, variable pitch prop, retractable gear, 130 kts cruise, 4 hours endurance - now available with Glass Cockpit.
The GA scene at our club is almost extinct, not had an aeroplane for over a year. all the pilots running out of licence renewals and turning to microlights, and hey ! finding it fun. The present generation of microlights knock a lot of GA types into a cocked hat, and are affordable, in our case NZ$ 100 /hr ( approx GBP 40.oo ) and if a private owner around 20 litres an hour consumption at NZ$1.60/ ltr. ( approx GBP 65 pence )
Also, the microlight medical - basically the 75 yr. driver medical exam - has brought a lot of older pilots back out of the woodwork, my first student was 78, first learned tio fly when he was 10, but had been without a PPL medical for many years. At age 82 he flew his bride of 60 years - to the minute - over the Bay of Islands on their 60th wedding anniversary - magic.
Microlights also attract the youngsters, being affordable. Had one student start at 14, went solo on his 16th birthday, youngest pilot in NZ for a day.
