just to clarify -the 15kt winds limitation is for the restricted licence only.the restricted licence also only allows you to fly within 8 miles of the airfield you took off from.no wind limitations for the unrestricted licence.I might be wrong but I am quite sure that on the restricted licence you cant fly with passengers unless you have 25TT.I done my NPPL(M) in 6 months last year and it took me about 33 hours total. I learnt on the EV-97 and now have a share in a Jabiru.If you have any questions give me a PM
