PPL (A) to NPPL (M)

[tomtom_91]

Hey!,

I am sure this has been covered I had a look and could not find anything though but please, do feel free to yell at me if I am just going blind :)

So I am doing a uni course which at the end of the first year... I will have my PPL however I am thinking that I would also like to Microlight using Flexwing but maybe Fixed (not decided :8) Would the PPL count for anything (IE would I have to do less hours before I could get the NPPL) or would I have to do the full min number of hours?

Hope some one can help!

Thanks In Advance!

Tom

If you hold a UK/JAR-FCL PPL(A) with SEP Class Rating, to exercise Microlight aeroplane privileges you merely need to complete differences training and do not need a NPPL. Contact a Microlight club to establish what your 'differences training' would consist of.

However, hours flown on Microlights will not count towards the hours needed for revalidating your SEP Class Rating.
