We have 9 years of experience of a Lapl(a) to icao ppl(a) skill improvement path. When will we have the equivalent skill based improvement path for NPPL-SSEA holders to ICAO ppl(a), giving a joined-up skill improvement and qualification progression route for all along the hobby GA licence ladder?
On a similar tack, The old paperwork exercise from NPPL SSEA to LAPL then onwards to PPL was acceptable to all including the CAA. EASA decided to change the rules and the eventual implementation happened in Apr 18. Now that we have left EASA, and the LAPL is now a U.K. Part FCL licence. Why can’t the old route be reinstated via a pronouncement from CAA.
At the minute I am in limbo, stuck at NPPL, waiting and hoping that the old route is reinstated. When it happens I have my savings ready to spend on gaining an IR(R).
At present I can’t spend that cash as I may eventually need it to change to a Part FCL licence (if/when the CAA finally draw a line under paperwork upgrades). That will be a lot of money to buy a piece of paper as I will learn no new skills in the process.
