Hi Stillstanding
Thanks for the info
Thanks to great encouragement from my flying school I continued my training and successfully got an NPPL with the obvious endorsement that I can't take passengers. The club allowed me to rent after I got my licence, and I now have my own aircraft.
Did you need to finish your training with a safety pilot, what about SOLO NavEx etc. ?
Currently digesting the contents of JAA Medical manual you referred me to for further background.
