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?

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.
