Best Way?!

[princepilot]

Hi,

Is this a good route to take to end up as a ppl(a)?

I have no intention in becoming an airline pilot

• Do NPPL in say 45-50 hrs
• get experience under my belt for a year ro so
• Then do the conversion course to get my ppl(a)
• Stay at that for a while to get more experience
• Then do the other courses (imc, night and tailwheel)

I could do it in the above order couldnt i?

My goal is to do it that way and to buy a cheap microlight once ive got my nppl , then when i have got my ppl and other ratings etc , then sell the microlight and get a class a aircraft.


Dont know everything about the rules and regs , i just think this would be the best way as i get to get alot of experience and get to fly a different amount of aircraft and still end up with teh same result which is PPL(A) WITH OWN AIRCRAFT)

Why convert-why not just get the JAA PPL(A)?

Agreed. Just go straight for the PPL(A).

The NPPL was desgined for people who may not have been able to get a Class 2 medical and who don't want to carry on with further qualifications. Neither of these are applicable in your case.

Cheers
