Hi all,
I am totally new to all this, this is my first post after months of stalking/googling/not really understanding. So hi, all.
I decided to (hopefully) get a my license. I umm'd and ahh'd and thought the best route for me (cost, time, needs) would be the NPPL(m), there is a great airfield 10 mins away and I currently have 1.5 hours logged. Go me.
My big concern is this whole April 8th deadline, which I was aware of before deciding on NPPL(m). I went in with the "it's cool, I am happy with 3 axis fixed wings so April 8th? Whatever" attitude.
The thing is, the more I look, the more I like the idea of Cat A aircraft. I then did some reading saw about adding the SSEA to my NPPL(m) but am unsure of how this fits in with EASA LAPL, post April 8th thing? Am I making any sense? Thought not. Let me sum it up.
If I spend a bunch of time and money on NPPL(m) now, is there anyway I can get to fly Cat A planes relatively cheaply in the future using those hours at all? Is it advised to just go LAPL now? Does anybody know? I know I certainly don't!
To anybody still reading, thanks - I look forward to any responses.
