Well, let me tell you about my experiences from MPL to PPL.

I decided to get mey PPL after hearing about all the rule changes coming up. I have also bought a new SportCruiser and as of now you need a PPL to fly it.

I had about 1400 hours MPL of which about 80 hours were 3 axis.

In May this year I did a conversion to type and solo check out with a PPL instructor. I then did 15 hours of solo including a 200 mile cross country. Then did my PPL test.

I also had to redo all the written exams. There were no credits given except for the Radio license.

After completeion of my PPL I also did my Night rating. I managed to finish on the exact minimum hours required.

Personaly I find 'Blik' Aeries much easier to fly. My 172 conversion was 'complete' within 20 min. They seem to handle the bad weather far better than the plastic fantastics in my opinion.

What I did find was a huge step in the 'level' of training between MPl and PPL schools. My advice is choose a good school that is there to train you and not get you to go around and around in a R800 per hour school plane.
