Hi.

What will the costs be at Rainbow to do my MPL license / conversion?
How many hours will this take +/-?
I am a PPL pilot with a night rating. 110hours on C172 / C182.

Want to start fly microlights!

Any info please!

[African Grey]

Hi Pilot...
Not sure f I responded to this, our email server was down for a week...
All that needs to happen is a Conversion.
The Cheetah is entered on your licence as type Z194 (microlight) and you fly it on your PPL. I reckon the conversion will take about 3 to 4 hours to get comfortable with the 'light" feel it has and different crosswind approaches etc...

The hr rate is R790 Wet.

Thanx Russ

I will be getting back to you asap!!
Thanx for the help and info!
Can the cheetah's be hired & fly over weekends as well? Will the rate stay R790 wet?

Regards

[African Grey]

We like the A/C to work...so the answer is yes.....BUT there are 4 fo us involved in the A/C and we are busy with the Insurance issue for hire and fly, as well as finalising a minimum charge for a weekend / day, etc.

Thanks
Russ

[Pilot]

Thats good to know!
If you have a final answer on the insurance and what the weekend rate will be..wet, can you please inform me?

Fly safe!!

Howsit George...

Your PPL keeps your ratings current on all your microlight A/C's......!

I'll call you today to discuss options.
