Good afternoon,
My first post on here and I'm looking for a bit of help if possible. I did a number of flying 'taster' lessons many years ago and have wanted to carry on with it ever since, I'm finally at a stage in life where I'm looking to start within the next 12 months (hopefully) but I want to be sure I'm heading down the correct route (given all the recent changes to licences etc.)
From what I can see with my own research I have the following 3 to choose from?
UK NPPL
UK Part-FCL LAPL
UK Part-FCL PPL
I have ruled out NPPL on the grounds of it being UK only in non-easa aircraft so leaves me the other 2.
I'm looking to fly for recreation, taking up the odd family members (wife/children) on occasion, also having the ability to fly across into Europe (mainly France & Spain) as I have family who live there who I visit often.
Question 1: will an LAPL be suitable for what I'm looking to do?
Question 2: can I fly in Europe with either the LAPL or PPL.
Question 3: I see the LAPL is limited to 2000kg and 3 passengers rather than 19 passengers and 5750kg, am I likely to need to go over 2000kg??.... 3 passengers is sufficient for what I need.
Question 4: can I fly the same aircraft on either (up to 2000kg that is)
Question 5: once the licence is obtained, me and a friend of mine are considering the option of getting something between us rather than renting all the time. If we was to get something such as
Question 6: I see SEP and SSEA a lot.... are they the same?
