Let's be honest about the NPPL
Recently speaking to a well respected CFI at my local club I sensed a feeling of concern from them about the introduction of the NPPL.
The biggest concern (and one that I understand) is......
If 9 out of 10 PPL students take more than 40 hours to prove to their instructors and examiners that they are proficient enough to be awarded a PPL, then how the hell can a NPPL student do the same in quite a few LESS hours.
The PPL syllabus does not cover flying abroad, differences training, flying with more than 3 passengers etc. so how will they do it quicker????????
At the end of your replies I would be interested to know whether you approve of this new licence.
My vote.................Bin It.
