I went that route, would do again any time. My navigation training was focussing on the intercepts & orientation, nt keeping the da.... plane straight&level.
Took 35 +/- hours for the LAPL and would definitely have needed more than 10 hrs to get through PPL - nav training in one go at that time.
Also, not bad to have a re-training after a year or two as side effect of the LAPL->PPL move. In between I had done 35 hrs on my own / with friends.
just my 2 cts
Thank you nice to hear from somebody that did it that way. Gives a good insight into the way I want to go. I do have 20+ hours counting dual and solo on gliders all be it from 2 years ago so I'm hoping that will keep the time low. Even though I know its probably not going to be the minimum time required.
I believe the qualifying cross country requirement is different
I believe 80 NM as opposed to around 160 for full PPL
