John,
as it is currently written the MTOW for RPL will be 1500kg, but we are
in the consultation period and that could change.
Some unanswered questions to date from prospective are:- what will be the
status of RPL overseas if it does not require an aviation medical? and if it is
accepted overseas why the higher medical requirement for the GPL? I can't think
of any glider with a MTOW >1500kg or with more than 2 seats.
For those of us with PPL/CPL etc is the GPL a new license like a helicopter
licence or an additional group endorsement?
I know the GPL fixes a problem for our members who fly O.S. but if we rush in
at the first sign of a breakthrough on this front will we be left with some
unwanted legacies too?
