I'm curious how you get round Iceland's requirements with a microlight:
Single engine landplanes shall not be flown farther
away from land than a distance it will be able to
reach land gliding. The Icelandic Transport
Authority can issue a special permit for ferry flights
over the ocean and for international flights, and for
general aviation during the period from April to
September provided that:
• The Commander has at least 500 hrs. flight
experience and a valid instrument rating.
• The airplane is registered for IFR flight and
carries a liferaft of an approved type able to
carry all persons on board. The liferaft shall
be equipped with an ELT
That would seem to preclude any microlight as none are registered for IFR flight.
I know Brian Milton and others have done it, but they seem to work on the principle of seeking forgiveness rather than asking permission.
