Um..one thing...why on earth would a microlight pilot be attracted to an NPPL instead...

um..continued cost of flying is cheaper on ML, cost of training is cheaper on ML, Medical requirements are self-declaration (doc signature), the PPL (M) is INTERNATIONAL, modern microlights such as the new fixed wing composite models have TAS performance figures similar/in excess of many light aircraft, they require shorter landing strips, the cost of maintenance is a whole heap less...and so on..etc etc

so...have to ask...why on earth would it appeal.....?? I am curious to find out what would attract PPL(M) holders (or prospective holders) to light aircraft...

Curious,
FF
