I'll read the discussion paper more carefully tonight but based on a very quick skim through it, I'm a bit underwhelmed at the idea of allowing NPPL holders to instruct and maybe even get paid for it. I must say that the NPPL smacks to me of a dumbing down exercise carried out in order to try and inject some life into the UK flight training industry. Whilst I have every sympathy with the industry I'm not too keen on the whole NPPL thing and am instinctively not in favour. As far as I can see it is meant to be a recreational licence but the only restriction seems to be that flight is limited to the UK FIR and no night or IMC flying allowed (yet - anyway).
