LIGHT SPORT AEROPLANE AND CONVENTIONAL CONTROLLED MICROLIGHTS
The practical syllabus flight training has been broken up into 5 phases. The aim of the course is to train a candidate to the level of proficiency required for the issue of a type rating for light sport aeroplanes, and to provide the training necessary to act as pilot-in-command of any light sport aeroplane for which he or she holds a valid class or type rating, engaged in non-revenue flights under visual flight rules. Each lesson will be repeated until a satisfactory level is obtained.
