Actually, Whopity, as I read the table at the back of the CAA document online, it appears that the old PPL (micro) is being replaced by the NPPL (Micro).**
So instead of five hour every 13 months, I will require 12 hours every two years including at least 60 mins with an instructor.
Why if UK PPL (M) and NPPL (M) are all UK poo, we need to ditch the first in order to comply with non-existent EU regs (since micros are Annexe 2) I cannot fathom.
