| The National Private Pilot's Licence (NPPL) |
|
The National Private Pilot's Licence
came into effect in July 2002. This licence is aimed
at people who wish to fly for fun rather than as
a stepping stone to a career in aviation.
The NPPL was a response to what many regard as an
increasingly bureaucratic and expensive nature of
the JAR-regulated PPL and its associated medical
requirements. Whilst such regulations may be appropriate
for commercial aviation, they can impose an excessive
burden on recreational pilots.
The NPPL is limited to:
- VFR only (no IMC or IR ratings can be added),
minimum visibility 5kms (10kms under Special VFR)
- UK-registered aircraft only
- Flight in UK airspace only
- Simple aircraft types only (can be extended with
extra training)
- Maximum of three passengers
For full details of the NPPL, please refer to the
NPPL web site at http://www.nppl.uk.com |
