0 an extremely light and small aircraft with a very small engine, designed to carry only one or two people
Additionally, there are special arrangements for non-radio aircraft based within the area, and special provisions have been made for microlight aircraft, hang gliders and balloons.
In some areas there are to be found gliders and microlight aircraft.
This is another welcome step forward in properly regulating the operation of microlights.
Microlights are of course of particular value in mountainous country with their high rate of climb and hedge-hopping ability.
Microlights have small engines, air stall speeds as low as 35 knots and limited weight.
In respect of microlight aeroplanes, in the last six months there have been two fatalities and three serious injuries.
I am also pleased to note the inclusion of microlights.
I have to answer many questions on microlights.
