im planning on learning to fly in a motorglider as its a cheaper alternative to learning in a cessna at my local airport, its almost 1/2 the price, i was wondering if once i obtain an NPPL(SLMG) license is it possible to upgrade it to a PPL after i have flown the extra hours as per the PPL Requirements, im sure the rest of the requirements for the PPL are indentical to them of the NPPL?

As I understand it to go from a NPPL to a UK JAR PPL, it used to be all of the instruction had to be done at the NPPL phase by a JAR instructor. It may have changed.
If you are after a CPL, far less hassle to do direct for a ICAO PPL be that JAA, FAA or wherever. Shortcuts are often met with complications later.
You can only fly within the UK FIR with a NPPL.

It’s all mentioned on the NPPL website http://www.nppl.uk.com/ under licence allowances. Are you planning to add the SEP rating to your NPPL?
well over time my ultimate goal would be to obtain my CPL so i can atleast make some honust money out of something i enjoy, but im trying to do it as cheaply as possible, im assuming SEP is Single Engine Prop, so yes i suppose eventualy maybe a year after obtaining my SLMG i will yeah, i’m ashuming that is the equivilent of the full PPL except restricted to the NPPL restriction etc?
i also know from my research into the NPPL that you can only fly UK registered aircraft, correct me if im wrong but that G- registered aircraft isn’t it?
it says you can’t fly N registered aircraft i thought the majority of UK GA Aircraft were N?
