Hello,
I am importing a Lambada microlight into Ireland and am trying to ascertain the most cost-effective way of obtaining a rating/license to fly it.
I'm currently flying commercially. I hold a UK EASA ATPL. My SEP expired approximately 10 years ago.
By way of the IAA (Irish Aviation Authority's) permission holders of SEP ratings may operate 3 axis microlights without additional training.
I was hoping, however, to become current on a microlight at an Irish club as it would be much cheaper. The problem is that there is no such thing, if I understand it correctly, as a 'microlight' rating which I could attach to my EASA licence.
So am I therefore forced to become current on (the relatively expensive) SEP aircraft again or is there another way?
Regards,
