Before you choose

Good to know

Some courses are specifically written to cover the initial licence official theoretical knowledge required to pass the official examinations, whilst others cover best practice or further training.

Always the most up-to-date information

Two ways to study each course

Tests & exams only

Just the question bank: the progress tests and exams, to check you're ready.

  1. 01

    Is there such a thing as an NPPL(M)?

    Before we start, a quick word about the naming of licences in this area. The aviation community generally considers a microlight licence as being known as a NPPL(M). Actually, there is no such thing - instead, the licence is actually a NPPL(A) with Microlight Class Rating. the same thing applies for Powered Parachutes. Hopefully, armed with this information, you will be able to decipher the myriad of "slang" names for microlight licences!
  2. 02

    Which licences do these cover?

    These courses cover all Microlights from UK NPPL(A)(Microlight) and NPPL(A)(Powered Parachutes). Even if you are a pilot of an aircraft that does not need a licence (e.g. Paraglider or Single Seat Deregulated Aircraft [SSDR]) you will still need to know some of the subject matter detailed below from an Air Law perspective!
  3. 03

    9 CAA exams, or 5 BMAA exams?

    The NPPL theoretical knowledge requirements are that you can either take the 9 CAA on-line exams (the same as for the PPL), or you can take the 5 NPPL paper exams which are issued by the British Microlight Aircraft Association (but you will need to find an organisation that can set you those papers). Our honest opinion is that you're better off taking the 9 PPL exams to cover you for future potential licence upgrades. If you choose to do the 5 NPPL exams only, and then wish to upgrade the licence to a PPL, you'll need to study for and undertake the NPPL to PPL online Bridging exams.
