As Lister Noble says:
But....if the medical standard is "raised" for the NPPL,with a linked increase in medical fees, then I fear many NPPL pilots will give it a miss.
This will happen literally with private owners on their own strip. If their own GP's are no longer allowed to certify them at a professional driver level for the carriage of passengers, some will say stuff it and carry on flying anyway. And if you're fit enough to drive 52 folk down a motorway or drive a 32 tonne truck, why should you be stopped from having an afternoon bimble in a Cub?
Irresponsible maybe, but many people have had enough of bureaucracy.
