Has to be option A!
As a newly qualled NPPL who's waited a lifetime to get here (well - 40 years) and who can't get a JAR medical due to one weak eye I'd be heartbroken if my flying were stopped.
If the licence becomes the LAPL and Europe wide - under tighter medical regs - will those of us currently licenced not be allowed to fly any more - or will we get some sort of 'grandfather' rights?
It's like the recent news that NPPLs were to be allowed to fly in France - but only if you have a JAR medical. That's about as useful as a chocolate fireguard to most NPPLs...
Of course - my ideal is to be able to fly in Europe on a licence that has the same medical requirements as the UK NPPL - which is what I thought was happening.
Are there any stats regarding NPPL safety verses PPL safety?
Sigh...
I had such great hopes for a European Sport Pilot Licence...
