Hi Taildragger,
I understand that the constraints of the liscence are different (although I didn't realise the vis limits had changed). Surely you need additional training to fly a "complex" on a JAR-PPL as well?
The point I was making is the Syllabus itself is the same. Going over the same stuff will the same length of time whatever you call the liscence and whatever the minimum time is. If the key objective is to make flying more affordable at an "entry level" I think that is misleading - the training aspect is the same as the JAR-PPL and will take as long.
As I said before - I'm happy to be re-educated here! I'm not looking for a mindless ruck (constructive debate is fine!). I'm starting to go over the ground that has been covered many times on this forum, so I'll shut it now!
