Very well put, but:

The NPPL seems to me like a very useful license. It frees UK pilots from a lot of the bureaucracy of the JARs

Assuming you now have a PPL of some sort, what exactly is the difference in beaurocracy between a NPPL and a JAA PPL?

Reading the latest ANO Amendment to Schedule 8, I simply cannot work out the variable revalidation requirements for a NPPL; there is a test with 24 month validity; a rolling 12 months; and for those with existing Microlight and SLMG licences (Now part of the NPPL) a rolling 13 months! The JAA system seems infinately simpler!

The 5 year JAA renewal appears to be the only beaurocratic difference! If there are others what are they?
