Ok, so no one could answer me so I went to read it up.

According to CARs part 62.05.11 it states that:

62.05.11 The holder of a class rating for weight-shift controlled microlight aeroplanes shall not
act as PIC of a weight-shift controlled microlight aeroplane –

(a) unless he or she –

(i) has acted as PIC of a weight-shift controlled microlight aeroplane for a minimum of
5 hours in the 12 months immediately preceding the intended flight. Such
minimum flight time may include flights undertaken by the pilot whilst receiving
training appropriate to the type of weight-shift controlled microlight aeroplane; or

(ii) has passed a skills test with an appropriately rated flying instructor within the three
months immediately preceding the intended flight; and

(iii) submitted an application for the renewal of the applicable category rating to the
Director or the body designated for the purpose as the case may be;

(b) if transporting a passenger, within the 90 days immediately preceding the flight on which
such passenger is to be transported, executed not less than three take-offs and three
landings in a weight-shift controlled microlight aeroplane.
