NPPL Rights

Hi all

Just been looking at revalidation of my PPL after a large gap and found that having Type 2 diabetes (tablet control) has put pay to that as CAA say HbA1C 7.5 is max allowed for Class 2

Option may be a GP dec and NPPL which i'm sure should be ok as see no reason that i will not meet DVLA Group 2 limits.

However, can not find anywhere what exactly you can fly as a NPPL, wanting to fly with passengers and being 130kg i think might limit options.

SSEA is max 4 seats but what else, e.g MTOW, engine HP etc

Can anyone tell me the actual limits or point me to where they are specified.

My only other concern here is that EASA may ditch GP meds for NPPLs, is that right, as this might then be a large investment for a somewhta short period.

Also GP cert needs DVLA eyesight requirements but does this mean that unlike CAA 2 you are allowed to have correction with varifocal contact lenses Cannot see anywhere it says not to meet DVLA Group 2.


Thanks
