Lister,
Thanks. I'm hoping the type of licence shouldn't present me a problem, after all most flying instructors hold a commercial pilots licence. I figure the key is that an airline pilot may not have an SEP class rating and therefore might not be able to simply apply for an NPPL without further training.
I was at the time of my enforced stoppage on a Flight Instructor course and so was current on SEP.
In essence is it simply just a paperwork exercise for those who already hold JAA licences?
