Hi.

What will the costs be at Rainbow to do my MPL license / conversion?
How many hours will this take +/-?
I am a PPL pilot with a night rating. 110hours on C172 / C182.

Want to start fly microlights!

Any info please!

Hi Pilot...
Not sure f I responded to this, our email server was down for a week...
All that needs to happen is a Conversion.
The Cheetah is entered on your licence as type Z194 (microlight) and you fly it on your PPL. I reckon the conversion will take about 3 to 4 hours to get comfortable with the 'light" feel it has and different crosswind approaches etc...

The hr rate is R790 Wet.

We like the A/C to work...so the answer is yes.....BUT there are 4 fo us involved in the A/C and we are busy with the Insurance issue for hire and fly, as well as finalising a minimum charge for a weekend / day, etc.

Thanks

Howsit George...

Your PPL keeps your ratings current on all your microlight A/C's......!

I'll call you today to discuss options.
