This might sound harsh but it's a gut reaction to what appears to be a compromise of standards, brought about by pressure groups who think people have a God given right to fly.

Yes I agree JAA/JAR is like everything else European a farse but the sensible thing would be just to stick with the CAA PPL.

If the NPPL does uphold anything like acceptable standards of safety then the 32 hours minimum will have to be just that - a minimum, just like the minimum 40 hours for the original CAA PPL ,or 45 hours for the JAA. I think that when people find they are not automatically getting there licence at 32 hours then the NPPL will lose much of its initial attraction.

If that is not the case then I'm quite happy for someone else to get involved in the instruction of it. I have no desire to see my name in a statistic's logbook.

As I said this is a gut reaction so it is open to moderating influences.
