Microlight to Ultralight

[Guest antonvw]

I have a weight shift pilot license(microlight). Does this count for anything if I want to get my ultralight pilots license?

 

What are the requirements for an ultralight pilot license?

Hi Antonvw,

 

The best way to get the requirements for a recreational ( Ultralight) pilot certificate is to contact,"Recreational Aviation Australia", "RAA" for short.

 

Go to the web address and all will be revealed.

If your pilot certificate is from HGFA, RRAus will accept this and convert it to an RAAus certificate for weightshift category when you join. HGFA endorsements for radio, pax & XC will be converted also. I think there is a form specifically for this on the link Farri posted.

 

If you then wish to add 3-axis aircraft category the 20 hour minimum for ab-initio pilots doesn't apply.

 

Hope that helps

 

John

All the guys that I know who have crossed over did about 5 hours conversion with an instructor. The rest was just paperwork. Simple
