NPPL may appeal to greedy training orgs. and second-class students but isn't it a Naff Private Pilots Licence? As was pointed out, the training is inferior and the priviledges are restricted, so NPPL is only suitable for pilots who are going nowhere.. .How much cheaper than a JAA PPL course will NPPL be? . .Don't reduced hours, reduced medical standards etc. indicate, also, a serious safety reduction?. .The effect of weak licensing requirements is evident on the roads.. .NPPL is indeed odd, when the trend in training, medical and other licensing requirements has been for higher standards. Why are they allowing it?
