So i could do a PPL on a motorglider, then after that cross to the NPPL then do some more training and get a PPL (A)?

You could certainly get an NPPL with SLMG rating first and then go on to the JAR PPL. Beware of a catch when it comes to counting NPPL hours towards the JAR licence though. If all your NPPL training is carried out by a JAR flight instructor, at a CAA-registered training facility, then you get a 30-hour credit towards the JAR licence. If not, then you don't get this concession.

See the NPPL information site at www.nppl.uk.com


I don't know if there is any form of motor glider licence now apart from the NPPL. The old microlight licence has been completely replaced by the NPPL, but I don't know if the same applies to the SLMG world.


Im not looking for the best ways to save money for a PPL, i couldnt care how much it costed,

Lucky man!
