Flying around France in my CT2K microlight aircraft

By Darren

Highlights of a flying holiday around France with some friends in our Flight Design CT2K aircraft in summer 2004, taking in the Camargue, the Pyrenees and the Atlantic coast. The mountain strip is Peyresourde, 5000′ up in the Pyrenees.

There is nothing like the view from a small plane. My wife and I are absolutely loving our CTsw.

Very relaxing video and beautifully edited. I love the music and its change in tempo around 2,45 for the landing.

My dream holiday, hope to one day move on from gliding to CT and do the same.

In Britain you are allowed to fly a CT2K on a normal private pilot’s licence – that’s what I do since I have a JAR PPL. Of course, you can also fly it on a microlight licence if you have one of those.

I don’t know the situation in other countries.

yeh but say if i bought the CT2K would i be allowed to fly it legally with my Private Pilots License or do i need a Microlight License ?

12

Anybody can fly into French ‘Altiports’ with a microlight (ULM) but in most cases if you’re using a normal light aircraft you need a French Altiport rating.

One of the rare cases where there are fewer restrictions for microlights at airfields!

13

Do u need a Microlight pilots license to fly these or can you fly them legally with your private pilots license ???????
