I have to disagree as to the type and cost of training! The NPPL course is the same as the JAR PPL up to the point of instrument flying where in the NPPL it is instrument appreciation and consists of 1 hour also we get to do a shorter XC qualifier 120nm as opposed to 150nm and we also get to do the GFT in 2 parts, which I thought would be easier till it was pointed out that it meant I had to repeat all the ground work planning walk round etc.I supose this made the chance of errors and hence failure a little bit greater. As was pointed out it is horses for courses and so far I am still happy with my choice.
As a foot note IO540 I was fully aware of the differences in privileges before I went to speak to the flying school!
