Hi guys, not sure if this has been asked before but here is my current situation.
I have a PPL that was renewed 31st May 2019 which will run out again in just under 12 months. Current medical which runs out in July this year (class 2) which I will renew when social distancing is lifted.
So I was looking into the idea of turning to flying microlights as they cost roughly 50% less per hour than renting a PA38 tomahawk that I have been doing since getting my license. I only fly once a month due to the cost to keep the license going however if I enjoyed microlights enough after the required conversion with a instructor at the new school and decided to continue to rent the microlight I would be able to fly 2-3 hours a month budget wise since I only fly for fun not looking to add any night ratings etc...
If I was to let's say do 12 take off and landings from now until May 2021 in a microlight (SEP runs out on 31st) would i then need to go to another flying club and go in a Cessna or similar for 1 hour with an instructor to get my SEP renewed (before the 31st) and who would sign me off for another 2 years would it be as simple as the 1 hour at another school and them to sign the license? Just a little confused as to who would sign it off. I'm trying to avoid the GST in a microlight route if possible since I have a PPL not a NPPL.
Thanks, again sorry if its already been answered but I can't find a answer anywhere!
