Please ensure that you use an up to date application form when applying for a NPPL. If we receive an out of date form, it will be returned.

If you are applying for a NPPL and have any queries, please do not contact the LAA. Refer to "Help & Contacts" for assistance. However, if you have already sent an application in to the LAA and have any queries, contact them or check the Current Applications page.

A progress table (Current Applications) has been added to this website so you can check the status of your application. We will try to keep this updated on a regular basis but there will be times when this is not possible.

The CAA have confirmed that valid UK CAA-issued JAR-FCL and pre JAR-FCL pilot licences can be used with a Medical Declaration. SEP Class Rating privileges in such licences will then be restricted to those of the SSEA Class Rating. ORS4 No.756, the exemption issued by the CAA, can be found here.
However, it should be noted that expiring licences cannot be re-issued using this exemption and at that point a NPPL must be applied for.
A summary of revalidation and renwal requirements can be found here or in FAQs. Full details are in Schedule 7, Part C of CAP393: Air Navigation: The Order and Regulations".
There is no requirement at present for non-NPPL holders to submit copies of their medical declarations to the CAA unless they are asked to do so, normally in support of an application for a rating or on request of an authorised officer of the CAA.
There is a requirement, however for NPPL holders to forward a copy of their renewed medical declaration to NPLG Ltd.
Those applying for a NPPL are required to enclose their original medical declaration along with their application form to:
NPLG Ltd, Turweston Aerodrome, Nr Brackley, Northants, NN13 5YD
