Hour Building Aircraft Requirements
Hi,
I've emailed the CAA about this but they're quoting a 4 week wait for replies "of a technical nature", so in the mean time I'll pick PPRuNe's brains.
I've got 15 hours of flight time before I can start my CPL (MEIR is done) but I really don't want to hire a C152 or 172 etc, but something more fun like a 3 axis microlight.
Can these be hour built on? I've heard rumours that A/C have to come up to some sort of specification to be counted as "real" hours. Is it based on MTOW, or the type of certification?
Some of these Rotax powered A/C far outperform any older spam whilst being cheaper to run, but of course I don't want to waste my money on useless hours.
Thanks
