Why do people keep banging on about a 600kg limit for microlights? The proposal is for a 600kg limit in the new Annex I. It is then a matter for individual NAAs to decide whether they approve an increase in the microlight limit. Airworthiness and licencing implications will ensure that decisions are not taken lightly.

The Commission is proposing no change, except "540 kg for a land plane, two-seater equipped with an airframe mounted total recovery parachute system and equipped with electric propulsion system;"

I read somewhere that the Council is in favour of a MTOM of 500kg + 25kg for a parachute and Vso 35ts
