Additionally, there is no requirement to do a GFPT for solo navex or PPL test. if that is the case, GFPT items are included in the PPL flight test.

If you read CAR 5.84 it states:
(3) For the purposes of paragraph (1)(b),
the flight time must include 1 flight of at least 150 miles, that includes at least 1 full stop landing at, and at least 1 take‑off from, each of 2 or more aerodromes:
(a) that are not the aerodrome from which the flight commenced; and
(b) that are not within the student pilot area limit of the aerodrome from which the flight commenced.
No requirement for 3 hour flight time. Perhaps you refer to the night VFR requirement?

Caught me half way through editing the previous post for relevance. I wrote half the response and realised it was aimed at a CPL situation not the PPL as per original post.

I do not, by the way, recommend bypassing the GFPT. Just showing that it can be done. I find this useful for people converting from ultralights and the like to meet the standards for issue of a PPL. Particularly as glider, RAA and helicopter solo times count towards the requirements.

As far as I know BAK is not required for first solo, there may be a small pre-solo theory exam, the BAK is required for GFPT.
