Im training for my nppl m, I may continue after to the sep, version, another 5 hours or so, + exams again !
my reason for not going along the ppl route, apart from the Medical, is, I very much doubt I would ever want instrument or night flying, and I would, probably purchase a rotax engined airplane, 450kg mtow for a microlight or
heavier if I go on to sep, ( or whatever its called now )
Therefore I see no reason to spend a fortune going the ppl route
