Flying microlights with a UK JAR PPL
Legally, nothing; they are a single engine aeroplane with a piston engine. However a little bit of familiarisation training with someone who has experience on the type you are going to fly is a good idea.

If you are used to flying something that's three times heavier before you put people and fuel into it, and runs a low-revving Lycosaurus, then a Rotax-powered microlight will be a bit different. Do what the instructor tells you when landing it

Flying Microlights on a PPL
Thanks for the info. At present I have a PPL G/A SEP, MEP , IMC and a PPL H .
The reason for asking for clarification is because I am setting up as an importer for a 3 axis ULM' (Microlights to UK folk) here in France. I would of course be getting checked out by the factory test pilot before launching off solo.
