Correct! The aims of the NPPL Steering Committee are that recreational flying should become cheaper and more accessible and that cross-accreditation between aircraft categories (SEP, SLMG, Microlight, Gliders various) should be more generous than under JAR/FCL. Also that medical requirements should be simpler and less demanding.. .. .It will be basically Day/VFR/UK and (for SEP) light 4 seat max simple aeroplanes. Extra training for RG/VP etc will be permitted, but IMC, Night, FI will still require JAR/FCL licences.. .. .We're working on the final touches to the NPPl proposal and hope that it'll be launched in the early Summer of 2002.. .. .Please note that there won't be any easing of qualifications required to instruct for the NPPL, or for training aircraft CofAs or for licensed/government aerodromes for the foreseeable. So those who thought they could get a NPPL, some form of cheaper FI rating and then set themselves up flying a deathtrap from a mud patch 'instructing' others for the goal of 'hours building' will be sadly disappointed!
