You sure about that RTN? I was under the impression that whilst going from NPPL(M) to NPPL(SSEA) was a relatively simple route, going from NPPL(SSEA) to PPL was only simple if you had logged enough supervised flying hours in a CofA plane. I believe that the flying hours in your logbook that are listed as Microlight only count 1:10 (so for each 10 flying hours, only counts as 1 for a plane) and only up to a maximum of 10 hours.

So, even if you are an NPPL(M) with thousands of hours, you can still only count 10 towards PPL, plus however many hours your training required for getting from NPPL(M) to NPPL(SSEA).

Easier, but not easiest route.

I'm happy to be told otherwise, but I did a lot of research before deciding to start my NPPL(M), so that I knew where I stood.

Genghis or Whopity are the ones who I think will know for sure!
