Circa 1996 I was told via FF that the RPL, (restricted private pilot licence), would be replaced with a RPL, (recreational pilot licence), with restrictions and everything as was currently in use including add on's.
Now please anybody tell me how such a simple re-wording of the existing could cause such angst.
I know persons who gained a RPL then progressed via their own freshly purchased Baron to the UPPL. Most still fly with a add on instrument rating to this day.
So simple, but like the PIFR someone buggers it all up simply because they can.
