Blue Robin,
I have to declare my hand. Having been aerodrome manager at three licensed aerodromes from 1968 through to 1984 I know only too well the cost of compliance with CAP168 even for the smallest aerodrome. If the NPPL(microlights) and the NPPL(SLMG) can be achieved at airfields that comply with a code of practice rather than the need to be licensed then why not the NPPL(SSEA)?
Flying chick,
Those proposals made by the PFA to the NPPL steering group and the CAA a year ago are still to be debated.
Cheers,
Barry
PS – I intend to put forward all your ideas, irrespective of whether I agree with them, at future study group meetings.
