microlight licences

[Sam Rutherford]

Apologies for this if it's common knowledge, but I'm intrigued.


Do you need a French licence for a French machine, UK for UK, German for German etc. - ie each time you change registration (jumping from one plane to another) you need to change licence?


So used to JAA/EASA that this all seems a bit old fashioned?


Thanks, Sam.

You got it quite right dear Sam - microlights have nothing to do with EASA. So yes, my BE microlight license only allows me to pilot BE-registered microlights.

Old fashioned this may seem, but if I hear the PPL'ers comments about EASA I am not complaining.

Ireland and France both accept UK NPPL (M) class 2 medical required in France

France and Ireland only accept UK NPPL (M) on G reg microlights. France does not require a Class 2 medical.

Thank you, another of the million gaps in my aviation knowledge filled.


Have a great weekend, Sam.
