I have about 15 hours training time on a Cessna 152, if I wanted to switch to training for fixed wing microlight (C42 at my local airfield) can any of these hours be carried over toward a M/L licence? I've tried to research it and ask the question, but I get varying answers Thinking of switching as the rising cost of training is beginning to push PPL(A) too high thanks!    Report

I read lasors myslef and it say something like 'JAR hours will count, but you must still do the minimum training hours' which implies you must still do the 25 hours    Report
