Ok let's keep on being pedantic. I did mean a full EASA PPL. The one that allows IMC IR and Night ratings, also requiring 45 hours training.
Indeed the one that so many pilots have, who while looking down on NPPL/LAPL pilots go all the way from Leicester to Sywell (delete and insert appropriate locations) once every 6 weeks to maintain currency.
They also renew their Night/IMC/ IR rating with an instructor every 2 years because they have never used it, but needed to have the badge.
They then tell LAPL/NPPL and permit pilots when it's too windy or low vis to fly when said Jodel/RV/Cub/Champ (not to mention LAPL pa28.172) etc pilots are daring to risk a crossing to Calais.
Not true I hear you say? Look around you , I just have and their are more badge collectors than flyers in here.
Is that pedantic enough?
