Hmm..
Well Ive been told Ive got to teach NPPL.
However, as no syllabus is forthcoming explaining where the 13 hours disappear I cannot do so....
As for those who said 'savings on i/f and radio nav'...obviously dont understand the current JAR syllabus. The old UK PPL was 5 hours i/f...however under JAR it is 'sufficient training to be able to perform a 180deg turn by sole reference to instruments' (my wording not theirs). There is *NO* stipulation of i/f hours required under JAR. I personally teach basic IF in 45mins - and refresh this enough to pass the test.
As for radio Nav? Well once again lets see...1:00..oh yeah and it covers VOR/DME/VDF/ADF/RADAR and oh yes GPS...like guys on the NPPL wont be using that either..
So at the moment we have speculated about dropping 1:45...yet the licence covers 13 hours less....hmmm...
So..as far as I am concerned no NPPL courses until someone defines what on earth us instructors should be teaching....Im still waiting for BOTH the flying clubs I teach at to provide a syllabus...
Ho hum.
