Hi Beagle / All
A really useful post quoting LASORS, thank you for that. May I ask a couple of questions to how that might apply to my self?
I have done an NPPL M, and recently converted that to a NPPL SSEA, and at some point in the future will look to convert that to a JAR FCL PPL, and I want to make sure any training I do between now and then will count. What if any 'gotchas' are there I need to be aware of?
As I understand it I will need:
A) 45 hours flight time, including supervised x-country and 20 hours dual with JAR Instructor.
Are there any requirements for that to be on CofA aircraft rather than Permit Aircraft? IE I will do a tail wheel conversion at some point, but that might be on a permit aircraft.
Any time boxing of those hours that I need to be aware of, ie could they be over 10 years?
B) pass the JAR-FCL PPL(A) Theoretical Exams in all subjects.
I have done the NPPL M exams, and the Aircraft (General) & Principles of Flight exam in my SSEA conversion. I thought I would need to do all exams except the NPPL SSEA one. However your statement:
so if you wish to move from NPPL(Microlight) to NPPL (SSEA) and thence to JAR-FCL PPL(A), you will need to pass the Flight Performance & Planning and Communications (PPL) exams
suggests I only need to do the two?
However many exams I need to do I appreciate that I need to do them within 18 months.
Thanks in advance
Kevin
