Division (a) F1

Privileges. The privileges of the holder of a mountain rating are to conduct flights with aeroplanes or TMGs to and from surfaces which are designated to require such a rating by the F2CAA.

Holders of an LAPL or a PPL with privileges to fly aeroplanes or TMGs may obtain the initial mountain rating either on:

1. (1)

   wheels, to grant the privilege to fly to and from such surfaces when they are not covered by snow; or

2. (2)

   skis, to grant the privilege to fly to and from such surfaces when they are covered by snow.

3. (3)

   The privileges of the initial rating may be extended to either wheel or ski privileges when the pilot has undertaken an appropriate additional familiarisation course, including theoretical knowledge instruction and flight training, with a mountain flight instructor.
