i wonder why there is a difference in revalidations
if you have a ppl/h you need to fly with a examiner every year harder medical and if you have a lapl/h you only have to fly with a instuctor and get a medical from your own gp and have flown for 4 hours more in that year
there does not seem to be any other resrictions to the LAPL other than not being able to instruct
