BEagle - We must agree to differ. The parlous state of UK GA demands that we have an affordable initial step into the private, recreational and sporting aviation we all enjoy so very much. I would check the threads on the Flyer and Key Publishing sites then you would see just how much real support is out there. Our future students will not thank anyone for holding up the process of a major cost reduction that would be possible for the NPPL(SEP). There are far too many folk who look at our UK prices for a PPL or NPPL(SEP) and vote with their feet in the direction of the USA. A significant loss of income to UK GA and one that could reduce considerably. READ MY LIPS in the form of my papers which took much midnight oil burning. IT IS IMPORTANT and perhaps GAPAN and AOPA (of which I have been a member for around 40 years) could call an ECM just for once. As far as the NPPL is concerned I think you will find that my own response to the appalling CAA RIA on JAR-FCL was one of the catalysts for the concept. Ask PFA, AOPA and GAMTA on that. They gave me support back then.
Cheers and out......................I hope.
