The table below shows how the various types of microlight are described in different parts of Section 10. These are all different, completely illogical, and a source of considerable confusion. Would it not be more sensible to rationalise aircraft description right across the document?
The two right hand columns ("A" and "B") contain 2 different possibilities, there are many others, all of which must be better than what we have at the moment.....
