I Have a Current  NPPL/SSEA Licence

 

The SSEA and SLMG Class Ratings do not entitle the holder to fly Microlights.

If you only hold a NPPL with a SSEA or SLMG Class Rating you must add a Microlight Class Rating if you want to fly Microlights. This will involve a Microlight General Skill Test (GST) and Ground oral and submission of form 102M & £87 to the CAA

Hours flown in any Class can then be used towards maintaining other NPPL Class Ratings.(Yes your microlight hours do credit your SSEA rating & Visa Versa) 

 

 Information about the National private Pilots Licence

The NPPL with Microlight rating has replaced the old "stand alone" Microlight Licence, which is no longer issued. There are advantages to holding a NPPL, chiefly the ability to add a Simple Single Engine Aircraft and/or Self-Launching Motorglider rating by following the cross-crediting arrangements agreed by the NPPL Steering Group.
