Sorry for my ignorance on the subject, but will LAPL(A) be treated as PPL(A), and valid for Microlights as well? I am very confused by the whole EASA transition thing.
The CAA will allow you to fly a microlight in the UK on any EASA licence with an SEP rating, subject to microlight training (which obviously you have had.) Hours in a microlight will not count towards the SEP revalidation requirements.
An EASA licence does not supercede an NPPL. An NPPL(M) & (SSEA) will remain valid, you just won't be able to use the NPPL(SSEA) to fly Cessnas/Pipers/any EASA aircraft after 7 April 2015. The LAPL(A) removes that restriction.
