Homeguard,
I think we'll have to agree to disagree on this one.
I'm afraid I'm with moggiee on this one, even if you happen to be correct that the 13 hours is nothing but experience time (which I seriously doubt !), those 13 hours are highly valuable to a rookie pilot and it's therefore only fair that the extra privileges available to a JAA PPL holder are only available to those who have gained the extra experience.
