i am just about to convert from NPPL m to NPPL sep as i have just ordered a TL Sting and a Titan T 51 Mustang. i started doing the JAR licence (only done 3 hours in a spam can) and done 3 of the exams. i then read on here that i can do the NPPL sep in 3+ hours. so i am taking the print out of the lasors to my flying school to discuss it with them. i passed my NPPL M in 8 days in exacly 25 hours (im sure the model flying helped) and i was able to do this because i bought my own plane and just paid the instructor. i passed 14 months ago and have done 180 hours since then! i have flown all over Europe and spent 3 days flying up and down the Austrian Alps.

now comes the crunch! if i convert to an NPPL sep i understand that i can not fly abroad? but i could on my NPPL m! or as my Sting is an ultralight on the continent, can i just bluff my way with my microlight licence when i get there also i was told that the NPPL sep will become a European licence soon anyway?
