I saw this topic touched on another thread recently, and looking through the JAR syllabus and other JAR texts on the websites I'm confused.
The question is: Can you get a Night Qualification (NQ) as part as your 45hours training?
Reading the AOPA JAR-PPL syllabus it seems to say that the 5hrs is in addition to the 45hrs training required for the PPL.
Reading JAR-FCL 1 Subpart C 1.125 states the following:
Flight instruction. An applicant for a PPL(A) shall have completed on aeroplanes ... at least 25hrs dual instruction and at least 10hrs solo flight time, including at least 5hrs solo cross-country time... (paraphrased, rest is relating to qualifying cross-country)
Night qualification. If the privileges of the licence are to be exercised at night, at least five additional hours flight time in aeroplanes shall be completed at night comprising 3 hours of dual instruction including at least 1 hour of cross-country navigation and five solo take-offs and five solo full-stop landings. This qualification will be endorsed on the licence.
Now, the ambiguous bit is the additional word. Additional to what? The 10hrs solo/25hrs dual or the 45hrs total? The JAR-PPL syllabus seems to indicate the 45hrs but the syllabus I have is dated 1998 and the JAR-FCL document June 2000.
Does anyone have any experience on this? Or can I download the lastest and official version of the JAR-PPL syllabus somewhere because Google can't find it, and the JAA website is less than helpful...
