Used as our pilot training and flight experience aircraft, we know that the EV97 TeamEurostar and the Skyranger Nynja fixed-wing microlights are true favourites with flight schools and student pilots.
The EV97 aircraft is manufactured by Evektor-Aerotechnik of the Czech Republic and is fitted with a modern Rotax 912UL 80hp engine. This lightweight two-seat microlight has a maximum take-off weight of 450kgs and a cruising speed of around 85mph, sipping just 10 litres of petrol from a fuel tank with a capacity of up to 65 litres, making this a great economical training and touring aircraft.
The Skyranger Nynja is manufactured in the United Kingdom by Flylight Airsports and is a new breed of light sport microlight boasting a maximum take-off weight of 600kgs, allowing for greater weight carrying capacity. Fitted with a Rotax 912ULS 100hp engine with an economical cruising speed of 85 mph, this very capable high-wing trainer is a great addition to our training fleet. Subject to conditions, we can offer these aircraft for hire to qualified pilots with a current microlight or SEP rating, who are also members of the Scottish Aero Club at an hourly rate of £130 wet. This gives you the convenience and availability of a high-end aircraft without the large financial outlay.
Anyone. Individuals who are reasonably fit and within the weight and height limits.
We conduct flight training towards a National Private Pilots Licence (NPPL) with a microlight rating as per the syllabus developed by the British Microlight Aircraft Association (BMAA).
The minimum Flight training requirements are as follows:-
Minimum flight time total of 25 hours.
Minimum dual instruction of 15 hours.
Minimum solo time of 10 hours.
Minimum navigation time of 5 hours.
Minimum solo navigation time of 3 hours.
In addition to flying time, students are required to sit 5 written examinations on the following subjects:-
Air Law – Meteorology – Human Performance & Limitations – Navigation – Aircraft Technical
On completion of training the student will be required to conduct a Flying Skills test and a ground oral examination conducted by a BMAA-qualified flight and ground examiner.
Medical:-
The medical requirements to become a microlight pilot are similar to those required to drive a car. You simply need to complete a Civil Aviation Authority private medical declaration. This can be done on the CAA’s customer portal and is recommended to be completed before commencement of training, and is mandatory before any solo flights take place.
N.B. Some medical conditions may require referral to an Aero Medical Examiner.
