MPL, Passengers, HELP?

[Trikenut]

Hi
I am confused as to how the passenger system on an MPL works.
Can you fly in and out of major airports with an MPL (With transpoder)? Can you carry passengers in any country?
I was browsing the web and I came across a guy in The US of A who says he had to get an Sport Pilots Licesnce to carry his kids and friends as passengers on his Aerotrike Cobra.

Your completed Microlight Pilot's Licence allows you to carry a single passenger, not for monetory gain i.e. you may not charge them money. For this you need to be a suitably qualified instructor.

Most major airports being ORTIA, CT Intl, PE will not allow microlights because you are simply too small and slow and no transponder. No military Airfields except by invitation, such as for AAD at Ysterplaat and TFDC in the Overberg.

GA airfields depend on their local rules. Rand for example has no problems, Grand Central, Krugersdorp and Stellenbosch do.

Most uncontrolled airfields have no problems, but again sometimes it's good to find out first. For example, you can land at any of the Microlight fields in the Western Cape, but you cannot land at Somersfield(unmanned military), Stellenbosch, unless invited or in one of the faster 3-axis and Malmesbury. Saldanha welcome you with open arms as do Swellendam etc.

I would recommend however, unless the PAX is another pilot or instructor, that you wait until you have 50 or even better 100 hours experience before you take your loved ones.

In the states you don't need a license to pilot an experimental aircraft (microlight) unless you want to carry a passenger at which piont you require a sports pilots license. The yanks use microlights as a sort of Darwin effect to cleans the gene pool... Here in Peru its the same, but microlights here are the week-end run arounds for retired airforce, airline pilots and the odd aeronautical engineer.

Ok. I see...
