✈️ Licence to Thrill (and Revalidate)

The 1st of October 2025 marked the start of the most significant licensing changes for UK microlight pilots in years. As an instructor, I’ve been fielding questions from students and fellow pilots alike: What’s changing? Why now? And how does it affect me?

The short answer: the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) is simplifying and aligning licensing rules across NPPL, PPL, and LAPL. For microlight pilots, this means both new obligations and new opportunities.

🌤️ Why These Changes Are Needed

Since Brexit, UK licensing has been a patchwork of retained EASA rules, national privileges, and exemptions. The CAA’s Licensing Review (2022–2025) set out to streamline this system, reduce confusion, and ensure consistency across general aviation. Amazingly, I think they have succeeded… mostly.

For microlight pilots, the changes bring us closer to parity with other licence holders. They also recognise the real value of three axis microlight flying experience.

🛩️ Key Changes for NPPL(M) Holders

• Revalidation Cycle Standardised: The old 5 hours in 13 months rule is being phased out. From 1 Nov 2026, all pilots must adopt the NPPL model of 12 hours in 24 months. This includes 6 hours in the final year. It also requires 12 take‑offs/landings and 1 instructional hour.
• Microlight Hours Count Toward ICAO PPL: Three-axis microlight time now contributes to building hours for a full ICAO PPL. This is potentially a huge win for young aspiring commercial pilots.
• Ratings Simplified: SSEA becomes SEP, SLMG becomes TMG. SEP holders can fly microlights after differences training, without needing a separate microlight rating.
• Instructional Hour Clarified: It’s not a test—just a refresher flight, tailored to the pilot’s needs. Use it to do the tasks you rarely attempt. Regain confidence in your abilities. You’ll definitely get something out of it if you use the time effectively.
• CAP Guidance: A dedicated microlight CAP document is coming, replacing the withdrawn CAP 804.

✅ Benefits

1. Recognition of Microlight Experience – Hours now count toward ICAO PPL, opening pathways for young pilots.
2. Simplified Administration – Ratings consolidated, fewer duplications, and retention of fast licensing issue via our superb BMAA.
3. Improved Safety Culture – Mandatory instructional hour for all pilots ensures regular contact with instructors, encouraging skill refreshers.

⚠️ Drawbacks

1. Loss of Privilege – The shift from 5 in 13 to 12 in 24 will feel like a step back. Some pilots may perceive it negatively.
2. Transition Confusion – With exemptions valid until 31 Oct 2026, pilots may struggle to track which cycle applies.
3. Training Organisation Burden – Updating syllabi, examiner guidance, and paperwork will take time.

✍️ My Opinion

While the removal of the 5‑in‑13 cycle will sting for some, the broader picture is positive. These changes simplify licensing, recognise microlight flying as serious aviation, and begin to align us with international standards.

As instructors, we should frame the instructional hour as an opportunity, not a burden. And for students dreaming of airline careers, the ability to start in microlights is a game‑changer.

Overall, this is a step toward a clearer, fairer, and more easily understood licensing system.

Může mi někdo vysvětlit, proč přijde dopravcům v pohodě změnit místo doručení? Já chápu, že když někdo žije ve městě a má to 200m od sebe, tak to je přežitelný, ale jet si pro balíček 10 km, zvlášť když ho nenaložím na kolo a je to celou cestu do kopce, totálně ujetý... A hlavně mi doháje nikdo nezavolá a nezeptá se, ale po celým dni čekání, kdy si pro to už můžu dojít mi dojde oznámení, že to doručili jinam...

Samozřejmě dárek pro dceru k víkendovému svátku, jinak bych jim odpověděl, ať si to strčí kam slunce nesvítí.

Btw. není to balíček z Číny, ale z IKEA do #PPL Parcel Shop. Asi pomsta za to, že jsem kolenovrt a nechtěl jsem dát 250,- za dopravu domů.

No nic, už jsem se vydýchal, zejména proto, že k nám naštěstí jedou zítra naši a po cestě to zvládnou vyzvednout.

This is a long read, but I think it has a much more coherent take on the idea of creating ethical, political, or anti-capitalistic software licenses:
