People from all walks of life fly microlights and light sport planes. There are some 1,600 people with NPL licences in Sourth Africa. The Microlight and Light Sport Aeroplane Association of South Africa is the representative body that represents NPL Pilots.
Flying is an exciting and exhilarating sport. Flying LSA and Microlight Aircraft is not a step up or down, but a step into a completely different and exciting sector of the flying community. Flying LSA and Microlight Aircraft has been described as a step into "high performance slowness." While there are similarities to other type certificated aircraft, there can be major handling differences. Most of all, in this sector of recreational aviation, you will find the true essence of flight.
Be assured that the same exacting standards of safety are applicable to LSA and Microlight aviation as are applicable to any other form of aviation. The NPL may be more affordable but the end product is no less of a product than that received in any other form of recreational aviation.
