UKPPL,
Thanks for the feedback.
Best of luck with your exams - I'm sure you'll do well.
Please do not misunderstand me - at no time have I ever suggested that the CAA's rulemaking is immoral. The idea's/suggestions regarding the NPPL have, in the main, been created by people already involved with the GA scene i.e. CFI's, Flying School owners/manager's etc...and NOT the CAA. It is the CAA's job to decide whether or not the rules applied are acceptable, particularly with regard to safety. I do not beleive the idea of allowing PPL holders to instruct was ever suggested by the CAA - on the contrary, I believe they would be opposed to the idea.
I did'nt realise this issue had already been discussed in other parts of the PPRUNE and I value your (and everyone else's) comments.
I am fortunate in the sense that I am able to make my feelings known not only on the PPRUNE and in the press, but also at the Examiner meetings I attend.
Good Luck & Happy Flying....
