Hallo zusammen,

wir hatten für dieses Jahr einen Ausflug mit dem UL nach England und Schottland geplant. Dazu habe ich mich bei der Zivil Luftfahrtbehörde nach den Modalitäten erkundigt. Das war sehr ernüchternd. Es ist faktisch nicht mehr möglich, mit dem UL legal über den Kanal zu fliegen. Selbst LAPL oder PPL (A) reichen nicht. Brexit sei Dank ...

Hier die Mail Konversation mit der Civil Aviation Authority:

Ladies and gentlemen,

we are planing to fly to england this year with a german micro light. I have the german microlight license, am a flight instructor for microlights and have a German gliding license (LAPL-S).

Is it possible to fly to UK with this licenses with a German Micro light for 14 days?

Thank you for your response,

Jörg Etzler

Dear Mr Etzler,

Thank you for your email and please accept our apologies for the delayed response.

From the 1 January 2021, holders of sub-ICAO licences (including national licences and EASA LAPL licences) issued by an EASA Member State may not fly an aircraft registered in an EASA Member State in UK airspace.

To fly microlight aircraft, you would be required to hold either a  UK CAA issued Part-FCL LAPL(A) or PPL(A) and complete sufficient differences training with a qualified instructor, or hold a UK PPL(A) and complete sufficient differences training with a qualified instructor or have the Microlight Class Rating endorsed, or hold a UK NPPL(A) and complete the required training to gain the Microlight Class Rating.

Kind regards
