Well, Keygrip, historically, in JAR-FCL the PPL has been treated differently from the professional licences. Initially, PPL wasn't to be covered at all! Had to be included, though, as it forms basis for modular trng, etc.
Also, the EU directive on pilots licences treats PPL differently from the professional licences.
In this particular instance, however, the changes to 1.065 covers all licences; i.e. good news for PPL students as well!
when NPA 16 is implemented in the various member states.
cheers,
