Flying a microlight on an NPPL(SSEA)
I've been working with a light aircraft pilot holding an NPPL(SSEA) who has bought himself a 3-axis microlight. He had no prior flying on UK microlights.
My understanding, and this seems to be what's said in the current CAP804 is that he needs training as required in the microlight, then to pass the microlight oral exam and skill test with a suitably qualified examiner. I can see nothing in the various books to contradict that view.
However, he's just been talking to the CFI of a microlight school at another airfield, who told him that differences training only is required.
I believe that the CFI is wrong (differences training for an EASA PPL or UK PPL, yes, but a skill test is required for an NPPL holder). However, I'm paranoid where anything to do with licencing rules are concerned.
Does anybody know of a rule / rule change anywhere that might make me wrong and the CFI correct?
