Mike, Just out of interest, why was the old 'Restricted PPL' abolished? If all this brouhaha is to overcome the limitations of the restricted PPl, why not just re-introduce it?
>>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 29/06/02 13:50:51 >>> The recreational licence was developed to overcome the limitations of the student pilot licence. Currently, a pilot has to complete navigation training to be issued with a private pilot licence, so the old area-restricted PPL no longer exists and pilots who have passed the General Flying Progress Test remain as students and under instructor supervision - similar to the B gliding certificate, but they must have a check-flight every 3 hours of flying.
