Yeah I have heard of the LAPL, so is there any point in me completing my NPPL?
Yes, of course! Don't go on hold for possibilities that may never happen. Get your NPPL gone as conveniently early as possible and enjoy your flying; that's what it's all about!
At present, all your NPPL hours will count towards a JAR-PPL. If EASA decide that the NPPL won't have grandfather rights, then you might well have the time to upgrade to the JAR-PPL and have that converted directly into an EASA-PPL. You might well then be able to down-size into a LAPL.
On the other hand, your NPPL might well convert directly into a LAPL. No-one can say at the moment; it's ALL speculation.
I reckon it's going to be at about 2 years before things are finalised, based on the speed of progress in other areas.
