JAR PPL to NPPL?
Hi folks.
I have a JAR PPL for which the Class 2 medical is due to expire in a few days. I have decided to replace it with an NPPL but have only just sent off the application. I understand the NPPL licence issue might take 4-6 weeks which means I wont have a valid licence for a short while.
I believe I should still be able to fly solo with the authority of an instructor during that period just as if I had completed the PPL course and was waiting for initial licence issue. However it occurs to me that this might not be the case as I already hold a licence (albeit about to be invalid) and the entitlement to fly solo under an instructor only applies to genuine "students". I cant find anything on the FAQs or LASORS and wont be able to speak to one of the club instructors for a while. Has anybody had a similar situation with one of their studentsand got an answer.
Thanks.
