All this carping about “substandard” pilots will soon die down. The NPPL is designed for amateur pilots; let the professionals get on with their ATPL's and leave the rest of us to get on with a bit of fun flying at the weekend.
The restriction on international flight is under discussion at the moment. If it if accepted internationally I would expect most PPL’s will be NPPL’s within a short space of time.
The licence is designed for us, so why would we not want to use it? The training is very similar to that which I did to gain my CAA PPL. Are all CAA PPL’s inferior pilots too? If so, then you JAR trained pilots are in the minority, and are presumably somewhat less experienced than the rest of us.
