National Private Pilot Licence information


The National Private Pilot Licence (NPPL) is a licence to fly United Kingdom registered aircraft within the United Kingdom. It is a more basic licence than the private pilot licence (PPL), and cannot be used to fly all aircraft. It can be used to fly basic aircraft such as vintage aircraft or kit-built aircraft.[1][2] To fly many basic aircraft such as the Cessna 172, it is necessary to upgrade to at minimum a light aircraft pilot licence (LAPL).

There are three class ratings that can be included on the NPPL: Microlights, Self Launched Motor Gliders (SLMG), and Simple Single Engine Aeroplanes (SSEA). Each class has its own training syllabus.[3] Applications for SLMG or SSEA ratings are made through the Light Aircraft Association. Applications for the Microlight rating is made through the British Microlight Aircraft Association.[4]

The NPPL continues to be a popular licence, with over 4,500 active licences as of 2021.[5]
