I've struggled to find any definitive answers on this, so if someone could help that'd be great.
What are the main differences in what you can do with the LAPL aircraft licence versus the NPPL SSEA? It is my understanding with the NPPL you can't fly a plane with more than 4 seats (irrespective of the number of POB) that weighs more than 2 tonnes and goes faster than 140kts. Do these same limits still apply for the LAPL, or can you fly anything as long as it's only got one piston engine?
Can you still fly variable pitch or retractable gear aircraft on a LAPL, with the appropriate differences training?
Does the LAPL allow you to add any additional ratings to it, such as IR(R) (or whatever's replaced the IMC) or night ratings?
Thanks for the help
