"To convert a pilot to the SLMG he will need to pass a GSTwith an Examiner after you have finished the training, exactly as it used to be."
Oh really? Please quote your specific reference.
Nothing of the sort was in the Consultation Response Document, neither was it in the Regulatory Impact Assessment.
NPPLs opened with SLMG Class Ratings only will obviously require a GST; those opened with a Microlight Class Rating to which the holder wishes to add a SLMG Class Rating must meet the requirements listed in NPPL/XC/REV 07 (which will be released to co-incide with both the ANO change and the AIC which is currently being drafted) - this also includes a SLMG GST.
However, for NPPL(SSEA) holders, addition of a SLMG Class Rating will not require a GST - unless someone has now included this without having consulted the NPPL P&SC.
Similarly, the addition of a SSEA Class Rating to an NPPL(SLMG) will not require a GST. But this is not an 'easy route to a JAR-FCL PPL(A)' as the specific requirements for that licence require defined dual and supervised solo time in aeroplanes conducted by a JAR-FCL FI(A).
