Hi,
I have successfully converted my NPPL(A) with only an SLMG rating to an EASA PPL(A) with TMG class rating.
The CAA have confirmed that I still have my NPPL licence, which came as a surprise to me. I asked them this because I assumed that unless you ticked the option to retain the NPPL and paid circa £30 you would lose it.
Is there any point in maintaining the NPPL? I can fly annex II aircraft using my EASA PPL(A), and if I ever wanted to fly Microlights, as long as my PPL(A) has a SEP rating (which it will in due course) then this seems to be covered (provided I have log book evidence of Microlight differences training).
Have I understood all this right?
