My question re this 'difference' PPL/NPPL is the 140 knots limit. I can understand the IMC/VFR difference, but I fail to see why a NPPL pilot should be considered 'unfit' to fly above 140 kts. Perhaps someone could give a rational explanation for this, apart from the blanket statement 'That's what the CAA say'
This may be ok for the C152 types, but a lot of home built machines are faster than this. The Cozy for example is quite capable of almost 200!
