Wouldn't it be worth everybody waiting until the full syllabus etc. are published and available to all flying schools, members of the public etc., before all these discussions became so heated? We all want aviation to succeed (even those of us who consider ourselves pioneers and liberals....), so as far as I'm concerned, let's see how it develops, how it affects us all, whether it works or not in PRACTICE, not just theory, and applaud whoever has decided that the NPPL is a way forward for GA in this country. I am assuming that a skills test will still be required to gain a NPPL, so those of you out there who make your money from the 32 hours flying can still decide whether (under the slightly relaxed strictures of the NPPL), they are suitable for licence issue. If you don't think that 32 hours will be enough for your skills to develop, take your licence with open arms....AND KEEP TAKING INSTRUCTION! Is that such a difficult concept to come to terms with?. .. .I hope it works as much (or possibly a hell of a lot more) than everyone else out there, purely because the safety issues have to have been considered as appropriate for this system. Therefore the main concern has to be, "Will this give the GA industry in the UK the much needed kick in the arse?" <img border="0" title="" alt="[Cool]" src="cool.gif" />
