1 What is the difference between PPL and GPL

GPL - Glider or Gyro? Both pretty self explanatory. Gyro is rotary aircraft with very different controls, systems etc, so needs separate license - 25hrs. Glider has no engine thus again different instruments, procedures (winch launch is ) etc... License done by soaring soc....

Nope - A conversion is all that is required at this stage for either trike or 3 axis... Will require separate license once new part 62 (I think) comes into being....

So with a GPL you cannot fly a motorglyder like the Whisper?

[RV4ker (RIP)]

You can fly it on PPL or MGPL (Motorised Glider License).

Are you allowed to take paying passengers on a flight with a ppl?

The politically correct answer would be NO, but some say that you can recover fuel cost. So for a glider you cannot recover anything.

Lets say you have a ravin 500 and you want to take passengers legal to a gamefarm (when they pay) what kind of licence do you need?

To ask money in return for flying, you always need a commercial lisence, aka CPL.

Are you allowed to accept gifts?

[Tumbleweed]

Depends on whether you consider a 'pomp' a gift.

a Pimp can organize that for you!!

Stricly speaking, any for of reward is out of the question. Some say that you are allowed to recover maintenance and fuel, other say not.

It is still a hot topic of what is acceptable, and what not.

[johnsa]

Well I think you do not need a pimp to get a pomp just a fancy airplane and a game farm with plenty heavy red wine See below

Pomp?

No comment on that.

Its my lack of knowledge of SA language
