National Private Pilots Licence (NPPL)
Old Sarum Flying Club offers the 32 Hour course plus the 2 flying tests. The new NPPL is intended to provide the leisure pilot with a less costly route to learn to fly in UK airspace. The NPPL will allow you to fly solo and with up to 3 passengers. Although the privileges are not as extensive as the full Private Pilots Licence (PPL) issued in line with the Joint Aviation Requirements (JAR) it does give you the following:
- To fly a Single Engine Piston Aircraft with a maximum all up weight of less than 2000kg
- To take up to 3 passengers.
- To fly day VFR only with a minimum visibility of 5KM
- To fly in UK airspace
The medical standard required is equivalent to a DVLA Group 2 (HGV). There is no requirement to use an authorized CAA Medical examiner.
As with the PPL course there are 2 ways of paying, by the hour or taking advantage of the discounted pre-payment scheme. The latter being the most popular, as shown by the list of items included, which are otherwise payable:
