I had a quick look at the NPPL website. It is difficult for me, as an outsider, to see how this complex process is "the most significant positive development in private flying for decades".
It is apparent that in addition to poor weather and sky-high fuel prices, general aviation in the U.K. is terribly burdened with over-regulation.
