Hi All,
First post on the forum but I've been lurking for a while!
Looking into the various routes into being licensed to fly, and the NPPL (m) is appealing for a number of reasons. Chiefly cost of obtainment and affordability of flying once licensed.
My question though is will it be worth pursuing this avenue with the whole EASA 8th of April 2018 thing coming into play? I'd imagine that I'd be happy with being able to fly microlights in the UK in VMC for some time, but would probably want to explore outside of these limits in the future.
I wouldn't want all the hours and £££ that I'd put into the NPPL (m) (as enjoyable as I'm sure it'll be) to lead to a completely dead end as far as progression goes. So if anyone has any advice on whether it will become a blocked path as where going on to a full PPL etc. is concerned then I'd be grateful for your input.
