Within this time there must be a minimum of 10 hours solo flying as well as other basic training in aircraft handling, aerodrome procedures and navigation. The training culminates in a ‘skill test’ by an external examiner. There is no lower age limit for learning to fly but students must be 14 to log hours towards the licence, 16 to fly solo and the licence cannot be awarded before their 17th birthday.

EASA PPL(A)、LAPL(A)和NPPL(M的主要差别是什么？

三者在适用飞机类型、最大重量与座位数、最低训练时数、医学要求以及考试/skill test安排上存在差异。EASA PPL(A)属于更完整的国际通用资格起点，LAPL(A)是EU轻型飞机休闲飞行基础路线，而NPPL(M)为英国轻型动力伞（microlight）相关的资格。

如果培训周期拉长，会影响考试有效期和医学检查吗？

会。文中说明部分书面考试存在有效期（18或24个月，NPPL(M)），医学检查也受年龄影响有效期，因此培训更长时间可能需要补考相关科目以及进行新的体检。
