Glad to see that the thread continues to attract response. All is possible given the support it deserves. The FIC for those who wish to teach for the NPPL(SEP) could be far shorter and therefor cheaper than that for the JAR-PPL. The ground subjects would be those for the NPPL, not for the JAR-PPL with knowledge indicators, remember those, set at a higher level as should be the case. The privilidges of the NPPL(SEP) are limited, so should the level of the ground exams. Make no mistake this is going to happen. Our average age of pilots in GA is inexorably rising. Why? The cost, the cost, the cost and to some extent only, the complexity.
In the mean time I would like to wish everyone a very Happy Christmas and a safe and, if possible, prosperous New Year in 2004. Cheers.
