Hi everybody,
I am German, live in Germany and am just about to get the US-PPL.
My initial intention was to fly N-registered aircraft or German registered ultralights here in Germany, as it is here very easy to get a ultralight license based on the US-PLL.
I know heard that the UK also accepts the US-PPL instead of a JAR-PPL and that it is also possible to register a aircraft in the UK for all European citizens!? Is this true?
The other thing I am wondering about is what aircraft groups there are in the UK and which I could fly with the US-PPL? I read in some classifieds something about 'Group A' and 'microlight' - am I guessing right that 'microlight' is like our German 'ultralight' a national class, while 'Group A' planes are certified aircrafts?
I am looking forward to your answers. :)
Cheers,
Oliver
