The future of microlighting, in five questions

“The future of microlighting: innovation, transmission and sustainable development”: to better understand what pilots expect of the federation, a round table on five themes, with the questions published in advance.

  1. 1Tomorrow’s microlightingHow do you picture microlighting in 10 to 20 years, and what changes seem desirable for our activity?
  2. 2Environment and acceptabilityWhat actions should the federation, clubs and pilots put in place to better meet environmental challenges and strengthen the acceptability of microlighting?
  3. 3Club life and transmissionIn your view, how can we strengthen club life, attract new pilots and encourage the passing on of knowledge between generations?
  4. 4Regulation and simplificationWhich aspects of the current regulations do you think should change, be simplified or be better adapted to microlight flying today?
  5. 5The role of FFPLUMWhat do you expect first and foremost from FFPLUM in the coming years to support pilots, instructors and clubs?
