http://www.nppl.uk.com/ as you can see, the hours required are less, than the ppl
I see that your a lot younger than I, however, if you do not intend making a living from flying or flying IMC
the nppl is a much better option, I choose the nppl m, the 3 axis microlights
are every bit as good as most spam cans, big advantages being
1/2 the cost to train in
1/2 the cost to hire
1/2 or more even to buy one
1/4 the cost to maintain
