I've been wondering what the benefit is of holding a LAPL(A) (other than reduced training requirements) over a PPL(A). However, if you also look at the recency requirements:
To be able to fly you must have completed, in the two years before any intended flight, a total of 12 hours as pilot in command of an aircraft covered by your LAPL(A) privileges in addition to 1 hour of refresher training with a flight or class training instructor.
Whether it's good to have so little practise is another debate, although applying for the licence may be an option to ease remaining current for those who do not fly so often on their PPL.
