I still do not see how the licence is more affordable though? Its not going to be much cheaper UNLESS you have µlight or gliding hours.
Also don't forget that JAR will give credit of 10 hrs towards JAR FCL PPL (10% of PIC hrs in micro light up to max of 10), knocking down minimum requirement to 35 hrs.
As far as I'm concerned, there should be NO minimum hrs requirement. If a person can fly at 25 hrs, then fine give them a licence, if they can't fly till 60 hrs then don't give them a licence until then.
I'm not knocking the NPPL, I think it is a step in the right direction and would like to see the National licences expand to the point that JAR is out of the equation..
