Just reading the LAA page on NPPL revalidation.
1: a licence holder with ONE rating, either ssea, slmg or microlight.
12 hrs total, inc 6 hrs in the second year + 1 hour instruction.
If the above is not completed licence endorsed Single Seat Only.

2: a licence holder with MORE THAN ONE rating, ssea, slmg, microlight.
12 hrs total, 6 hrs second year,
I hour instruction.
1 hour in each class being revalidated.
(Item C) If this time is not completed, reval by GST.

Question is: If I only have one rating, SSEA. Can I fly indefinitely without revalidation single seat only?
Because item C does not seem to apply to (1) but does apply to (2).

Seems confusing/ambiguous that depending on how many ratings I have I may or may not require a GFT.

No, I am not going to fly indefinitely without a reval, just asking the question.

You have to revalidate but you can do so without the hour's training. Schedule 8, Part 3, Chapter 2 of the ANO 2016 applies and is laid out differently from the NPPL webpage.

Table A says that if your certificate of revalidation is current you can get a new one either by skill test or by meeting the experience requirements. Table B lays out the experience requirements and offers the single seat aircraft only endorsement option in place of an hour's training however many class ratings you have on the NPPL, so long as you meet the other requirements.

Sub-paragraph 2 immediately below Table B muddies the waters somewhat.
