I wonder if someone can tell me how does one make a career out flying
microlights once you have your MPL?I hope someone can point me in the right direction!!!!!!!!! :D :D

[DieselFan]

We heard you the first time , in MPL best I can think of is instructing but not much money in that - so I'm told

[David]

Hi David and welcome, how the landings going?

To answer your question
Well most would go the instructor route - which technically you will have to do for anything related where you make money such as doing joy ride flips which are actually intro flights.
For this you will need to do at least 200 hours flying and an instructors course

Then
You could try a bit of photography from the air ( good luck) or crop spraying - which again you need plenty experience for and need to do a course in chemicals and a whole lot of stuff

BUT
Generally microloight flying is not for making money but for having fun and you will probably make more money sticking to what you do
