What else will you need to get your license?
A minimum of 25 hours is needed to attain the unrestricted National Private Pilot's License (microlight). This includes 10 hours flying solo and 15 hours dual flying with an instructor. Two qualifying cross country flights are required with 2 out-landings of greater than 25nm from the point of departure. However, 25 hours is a minimum and there is no guarantee that a license will be gained in this amount of time. It is quite possible to take 5, 10 or even 15 hours longer depending on the individual.
You will need to take a GST, General Skills Test. This is a bit like a
driving test. You don't necessarily have to have completed all your hours
before you take this. But you won't take it under you are ready!
Youwill need a valid medical certificate. You can download it here.
