The Germans are strongly clamouring for this, though they content themselves with 600 kg. As I understand, the French authorities are negative. (edited to add: the German position seems to get a good deal of support, from several Scandinavian countries and from Eastern Europe). That is a bit understandable, as the French regulations are much less strict than in Germany. Also, there is a difference in mentality: Germans want to see rules and documents for everything, the French believe in self-regulation and personal responsability.
Flying an ultralight myself, I am not asking for an increase; and I much fear that IF some liberty is granted here, some will be taken elsewhere and I much fear that.
Ultralight flying should remain what it originally was: simple, free of rules, free of complexity, under the radar. And those who want more weight can always go for the LSA, can't they? Yes, that adds complexity and rules, yes. No free lunch, remember?
