I'm in a real pickle with a few questions that I cannot seem to find definitive answers for, from either CAP 804 or the CAA. I was hoping some people who have probably gone through the same could help me? I currently hold an NPPL with SLMG and SSEA ratings. In the future I will most probably go down the modular CPL route so am starting to look at "laying the foundations". 1. With the EASA changes, how would I now go from an NPPL to a Part FCL PPL? Would I have to go NPPL to LAPL first? I have all the exams and a 150NM XC done, plus the hours with an instructor and instrument appreciation requirement; I believe I just need a class 1/2 medical and another GST? 2. Can I hour build, towards a CPL, on an NPPL in an SSEA / SEP aeroplane and the hours still count when I transition to a Part FCL PPL? (That last one was a tounge twister!) It may be easier for me to keep flying and hour building on my NPPL and convert at a later date, as my license next expires before the phase out of NPPL to LAPL. This one may sound like a silly question but I remember hearing something that the hours will not count when going from NPPL to PPL. 3. Finally, can any SLMG hours be used towards a CPL ?
