Genghis the Engineer - pls also see P.M.


You need a type rating for a microlight? and 3 take-offs and 3 landings on type?
Yes and No. I've just chased up the Rule, and it only states 3 landings and take-offs in a Microlight, i.e not type specific. Sorry, but I've never really had to address this until now, and as I also fly G.A. which does require 3 type specific landings, I had a mind-set, but 3 - or 100+ - landings in a G.A. aircraft does not absolve one from the 3 microlight landings, and I wouldn't disagree with that, the lack of inertia does make a difference that requires some consideration.

But I've not previously heard of any regime which requires a type rating for a microlight aeroplane, .............That does sound like something of a bureaucratic nightmare to exist within.
Yes, the NZ Campaign Against Aviation is alive and well.
