Thanks for the replies. I probably should have mentioned in my first post that I already have an NPPL(SSEA) with GP medical declaration. As I'm intending to continue to fly EASA aircraft, I'll need to convert to LAPL within the next two years.

Do you have a source for that? I remember reading somewhere when I was training that I would be limited to 4-seaters (ie not a Cherokee six/PA32). So with the LAPL you could fly something like a PA32 on it (MTOW around 1.5tonnes, 6-seater)

(b) Holders of an LAPL(A) shall only carry passengers after they have completed, after the issuance of the licence, 10 hours of flight time as PIC on aeroplanes or TMG.
Am I right in thinking that the time I've logged as P1 since getting my NPPL counts towards that 10 hours of flight time?
