The New UK NPPL
THe NPPL is upon us at the end of the month, but I am having difficulty seeing any benefit in it. I expect the medical and revalidation requirements will be very advantageous to some, but as a method of increasing the number of folk who are going to learn to fly, how can it? I am genuinely at a loss here since most people take in excess of 45 hours to gain a private licence, and the NPPL syllabus doesn't seem that different so presumably the standard required to pass the skill and nav tests will be much the same as it is now? In which case 32 hours won't be enough will it? So where is the saving? Is it me, am I missing something? Or maybe a path from micros to SEP will result in savings? The same licensed field requirements and the same aircraft types and instructors so what's different? Help!!
