Reason
Flight in microlight does not require a co-pilot as it mean in GA for example.
I had some problems with that this year, I wanted to fly with my son 16 years old and my association said that I cannot register him as a co-pilot because he has no pilot licence.
I recommend in any case to use only the word "navigator" for the second member in the two-seater crew.
