This might be a question covered before umpteen times, but...
What are requirements to convert to PPL from MPL (weightshift)?
Some days it's not even worth chewing through the restraints

Oh to go from weightshift to PPL you have to do a full part61 license from scratch - you get something silly like 10 hours flight time credited and that's that. You have to write the full exam compliment and do the rest of the hours.

Ok lets go over this again slowly Stephan coz I'm a bit slow............ (**)

If I have a Bushbaby and a Chetha on my License and I still want to do my conversion for an JK05. Will this mean that the next time my license gets renewed I will automaticly be taken into consideration for the Light sports plane class or do I need to Do my JK05 conversion before 1 Feb 2009. Or will either the Bush Babie or Chetha quilify me to get the Light sports pland license?

Bennie, should be a normal conversion as the two planes on your licence fall under LSA especially the Cheetah. So, whenever you renew your licence it will be endorsed with LSA under the "grandfather clause" since you currently have those two planes on your licence, from there it will be normal conversions to other LSA planes, even after 1 Feb.
