NPPL v JAR FCL PPL..... good question. I reckon that I'll have clocked enough hours to get the full PPL ticket by the time I am ready for my GFT.
I don't have any plans to go international, at night or in IFR weather so there is no great incentive for the full PPL however I believe the exam papers are the same for either course and I would expect the GFT to be to the same standard. Some of the written questions have more to do with English comprehension but that's just my personal gripe at missing a couple of points in Air Law.
Can anyone confirm there are no differences in standards that apply to the tests or is it a case of doing enough hours and a 2 hour GFT ?
