There is no specifically defined module or exercise for anything in the PPL course
AFAIK, so really Beagle you are nit picking! I do note that I was incorrect about instrument appreciation being not in the NPPL. In fact - there will almost certainly be the same amount of instrument flying in both courses.
tobster911 - do note that there is various bits of extra paper work involved to follow the NPPL syllabus - so it might be easier to do an NPPL then expand it to do a PPL. eg, solo nav briefing certificate, and you need a navigation skill test before doing the Q-XC. If you are doing a PPL course you don't need these. If you didn't do the skill test before your Q-XC then you would presumably need to re-do it after you had been tested (by which time you may as well just do the PPL). So as I said initially - talk to the flying school about what you are thinking about.
