As set out in the EASA licensing
http://www.caa.co.uk/docs/620/c-May2011v3.pdf a PPL will now account to at least 70 hours. (I think)
With flying being the cost that it is, is that a really a good idea? I understand the safety aspect, but i see no elevation of privileges of the license (correct me if I'm wrong) so why the extra 25(at £150/hr) hours onto the minumum?
Any thoughts?
