I wonder if these micro-lights are governed by the same controls as other aircraft? Does anyone know?

I've no idea. I'd imagine they'd be subject to getting an 'mot' as with other aircraft, but asides from that, I've no idea.

Actually, I've often wondered about the terminology 'micro-light' - surely that depends on the weight of the occupant (or is that driver... pilot...foolhardy lunatic...? )

I've always thought of them more as 'motorised kites' - not subject to many rules or regs - fly at your own risk! (as you do with Spanair or Ryanair..)
