Best to leave wife, job ,house .sell your sole ,and emigrate to a country with out multiple tiers of bureaucracy,un- knowledgeable ,pension chasing civil servants ,and power crazed appointed organisations ,or give up flying,
Every successful licence application ,now come complicate with a LLB so you can practice law,and a weeks course with Kofi Annan, to help patience and diplomacy with further applications,
Still i now have a night rating on a licence with a Nppl rating, a rating( the night bit that is) i tried to get issued along with a night instructors rating ,on the bases of other ratings,the application went in circles so i gave up,now 38 years later it has suddenly appeared,no use with that rating,, who say the CAA are slow, off to church to seek amens,ho ho
***But LAPL .AND EASA PPL will allow Microlight privileges with a difference training and signature , and a Microlight rating can be added to your NPPL just send the BMAA and CAA the dosh, and of course compete the relevant training and a second GST
On the plus side this option allows for cross crediting in terms of revalidation.
