Is it possible to achieve PPL on a recreational aircraft (RPC, sling)?... I suspect RPC aircraft will need to be VH registered...? As I saw some school advertise possibility of achieving CPL on a recreational aircraft....!

Yes, as long as the aircraft is on the VH register, then you're good to go. For a CPL flight test you'll need a TAS of at least 120 kts though, which is usually beyond what recreational aircraft are capable of.

To qualify for CPL flight test, you need and aircraft with a cruising speed of 120KTS and a Manually Adjustable Pitch Control (MAPC).
There is NO RA aircraft that meets those specifications. Try Piper Archer III or Cessna 182RG. |

Oops... my typo... Archer should read Arrow.
I would look at CASR Part 61, section I (India) for requirement on VH. |

I think you'll find there is no Archer that meets those specifications either

There is NO RA aircraft that meets those specifications. Try Piper Archer III or Cessna 182RG. RA-Aus aircraft used to achieve RPC + Nav Endorsement. RPC+Nav is converted to RPL+Nav and flight review to activate. Student completes Command building in RA or VH aircraft VH registered complex (MPPC+120kts) aircraft used for around 30 hours of dual CPL training, and final flight test. |
You don't even need MPPC. People do CPL's in DA42's and Cirrus that don't have a blue pitch lever. The DA42's don't even have a mix lever and still valid for CPL tests.
