Thread: Who has a pilot's licence??

Thank u

i must admit, flying around adelaide/ SA is a hell of a lot easyer than flying around NZ

but nowhere near as beautiful….

A UK NPPL M which is a microlight licence,

I fly a weight shift trike..powered by a DCDI Rotax 503 two stroke...had it best part of 10 years and love it to bits.

Nick in the UK.

Lucky bugger! It's on my wish list, my wife says we can get one when I turn 50... only 8 years away!

Got any pics?

I will have a look at how to upload...for now here is a link to some of my youtube vids...under the name nickjaxe.

I was 51 when I started my lessons...wish I had started year earlier...same old story kids and buying a house get in the way,

Are trikes popular in Aus????

Nick.

They are about. In Aus you need a recreational pilot certificate, issued by a Recreational Aviation Administration Organisation, such as Recreational Aviation Australia (RA-AUS). Or a similar body.

As with all "ultralights", not permitted in controlled airspace. So they are restricted to regional areas. In Sydney, that means a good hours' drive North or South of the city.

Wow thats very restricted then...we can fly anywhere anybody else can but need a transponder for the very busy airspace...I dont have one but have no problem with CAS in my area...we can even into other areas of Europe not that I have,

Saying that there is lots of class G or uncontrolled airspace all around my area.
