Hi,
I was just wondering what the outcome of this was or if anyone can help me out.
I (stupidly) did the full PPL course and have 48 hrs total including skills test (incorporating my first 13 hours from UAS as no one at the club realised they cant be accepted).
After discovering the UAS hours dont count, I applied for the NPPL and was issued it, so I believe those UAS hours now count towards the EASA licence under the terms of the NPPL conversion report, does anyone know where this is written specifically as the CAA are now disputing it.
With regards to the 15 hours post NPPL issue, HOW ABSURD! Ii have completed the full PPL syllabus (including test and everything) this piece of regulation is joke. The wording is terrible with inferences made by the licencing officers, it doesn't explicitly say anywhere that LAPL is to be compared directly to NPPL, just that you must meet the LAPL-PPL upgrade requirements (since we aren't even being issued a LAPL this nullifies itself.
Does anyone have any advice or experience with this? No one at the CAA can give me a straight answer its pretty unbelievable.
Thanks in advance.
