Ok let's keep on being pedantic. I did mean a full EASA PPL. The one that allows IMC IR and Night ratings, also requiring 45 hours training.
Indeed the one that so many pilots have, who while looking down on NPPL/LAPL pilots go all the way from Leicester to Sywell (delete and insert appropriate locations) once every 6 weeks to maintain currency.
They also renew their Night/IMC/ IR rating with an instructor every 2 years because they have never used it, but needed to have the badge.
They then tell LAPL/NPPL and permit pilots when it's too windy or low vis to fly when said Jodel/RV/Cub/Champ (not to mention LAPL pa28.172) etc pilots are daring to risk a crossing to Calais.
Not true I hear you say? Look around you , I just have and their are more badge collectors than flyers in here.
Is that pedantic enough?

LAPL to PPL
One plus to having a lapl and a ppl is that if you were ever to not be able to get a class 2 medical ( or your class 2 privileges run out ) you could carry on flying without any other licence issue
On your lapl ,
if you don't hold a lapl you would have to jump through hoops to get one

Under EASA, a pilot may not hold more than one licence per category of aircraft. Thus you may not hold a LAPL(A) and a PPL(A), but you may hold a LAPL(H) and a PPL(A), for example.

That's a bummer then if you paid for a life time lapl then get and pay for lifetime ppl will you get a refund for your lapl ?
