NPPL v JAA
This has probably come up before so apologies. I was talking to the CFI of a flying club yesterday and the question was do I go for an NPPL or JAA licence. They do teach NPPL there but he recommends people to do a JAA, although he said that in my case with gliding experience and silver C etc it would certainly be the cheaper route to go NPPL. My question is this:
I have no desire to fly in bad weather/night time conditions in a single engined light aircraft, it will be purely for pleasure and days out. I have no great desire to fly abroad. Out of all of you who did the JAA licence, apart from those of you who fly professionally or for business could you hand on heart say that you have made use of the difference between JAA and NPPL? I'm not counting the odd trip to Le Touquet just because you can.
