What is the difference between an NPPL and a JAR PPL?
The NPPL allows the holder to fly in UK airspace only, and carry up to three passengers. The PPL allows the holder to fly outside of UK airspace and to carry more than 3 passengers. The ground theory for the NPPL and JAR PPL is identical. The NPPL requires a minimum of 32 hours flying time. The JAR PPL requires a minimum of 45 hours flying time. You may upgrade from a NPPL to a JAR PPL by undertaking 15 hours additional flying.
