This requires explanation, which you can read below.  \nEASA Text  \nAMC1 FCL.140.A; FCL.140.S; FCL.740.A(b)(1)(ii) Recency and revalidation requirements All hours flown on aeroplanes or sailplanes that are subject to a decision as per Article 2(8) of the Basic Regulation or that are specified in Annex I to the Basic Regulation should count in full towards fulfilling the hourly requirements of points FCL.140.A, FCL.140.S, and FCL.740.A(b)(1)(ii) under the following conditions: (a) the aircraft matches the definition and criteria of the respective Part-FCL aircraft category, class, and type ratings; and (b) the aircraft that is used for training flights with an instructor is an Annex-I aircraft of type (a), (b), (c), or (d) that is subject to an authorisation specified in points ORA.ATO.135 or DTO.GEN.240  \nEAS Text  \nWe will explain why we are very grateful to EASA for this AMC which we think is quite an achievement. It is a huge opportunity for the future development of General Aviation and our airsports community, especially nowadays in the world where global warming receives top attention. It is interesting or maybe somewhat boring to go back to the start of EASA in 2003 and the regulatory transition from JAA FCL to EASA FCL. At that time the microlight movement was about to become a grown up player in airsports and GA. The aeroplanes had reached high quality and safety standards, but the authorities of the EASA Member States did not yet want to face and accept the reality of the technical progress of three axis microlight aeroplanes.  \nThe reality today is quite clear, EC Reg 1178 defines aeroplanes in compliance with ICAO as:‘Aeroplane’ means an engine-driven fixed-wing aircraft heavier than air which is supported in flight by the dynamic reaction of the air against its wings.  \nThe AMC clarifies that a pilot flying any aeroplane or sailplane listed in Annex I can credit the hours to his/her personal account for the validation of his EASA license – LAPL A, PPL A and associated class ratings. This simply means that also hours flown on single engine piston aeroplanes below the mass thresholds of (e) in Annex I can be used to validate an EASA FCL based PPL A or LAPL A and its ratings.  \nIt took many years to convince the regulatory system that hours flown on aeroplanes that are generally called microlights require the identical skills and airmanship as traditional SEP aeroplanes. With this AMC the regulator and the Authorities of the Member States have acknowledged the contribution of the microlight movement and development to the improvement of Aviation safety.","cbCaiv8rr4iZhSBB","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiv8rr4iZhSBB","pdf",155224,"English","# Regulations for crediting flying hours\n## AMC1 rules and conditions\n## Why the amendment matters","[{\"question\":\"Which flight hours does the EASA guidance allow a pilot to credit for license validation?\",\"answer\":\"Hours flown on aeroplanes or sailplanes listed in Annex I (under the cited Basic Regulation reference) should count fully toward the hourly requirements for recency and revalidation.\"},{\"question\":\"What conditions must be met for the credited hours to be accepted?\",\"answer\":\"The aircraft must match the Part-FCL aircraft category, class, and type ratings, and instructor training must use an Annex-I aircraft type subject to the specified authorization.\"},{\"question\":\"How does the amendment affect microlight hours for EASA LAPL A and PPL A?\",\"answer\":\"It clarifies that hours flown on eligible microlight aeroplanes can be used to validate EASA FCL based PPL A or LAPL A, including associated class ratings, and it recognizes microlight contribution to aviation safety.\"}]","EASA Allowance for Microlight Flight Time to PPL-LAPL | PDF",1790316370]
