How long will it take to gain my NPPL Microlight licence?

 

The general "rule of Thumb" has shown itself to be true in the majority of cases for ab-initio students.

 

  • Half your age in hours will take you to the point of solo flight.
  • You have 10 or 7 hours of solo flight tasks to do, depending on "Full" or Restricted" license.
  • This is followed by 4/5 hours of final polish and preparation for General Skills Test.

 

Any previous flying experience will shortened the time required.

 

The syllabus can only gives the minimum hours required to satisfy the training requirements and these have been set by the CAA, generally for the 18 year old who has a brain like a sponge and very good mechanical coordination. The minimum 25 hours guys or girls are only come across once or twice in a instructional career. Don't be disappointed when you calculate the hours probably needed, everyone has been there.
