IO540,
Couldn't agree more.

BEagle,
So what you are saying is that the revalidation requirements will be the same as the JAR-PPL revalidation requirements?
If so then the NPPL is going the require the same flying as the JAA PPL to obtain and thus the same costs and the same requirements to continue to fly (same costs) leaving the only difference the different medical standard. All that and not be able to fly an SEP outside the UK?
Can't see a problem with SSEA pilots flying microlight 3 axis aircraft after appropriate differences training so where is the problem with that other than an examminer not getting their fee?
Overall as IO540 says, 2/3 of NPPLs are qualified and avoiding the JAA medical, and most of the rest are Microlight pilots. So how many NPPL SSEA licences are issued to new applicants?

DFC
