You need XC hours for the PPL, so you can either do it as part of your RPC, then port it over to the RPL (with 2 hours IF) in a cheaper aircraft, or you can do your XC hours in a VH- aircraft, but either way they need to be done. From your description, you do not currently meet the requirements for a PPL.

I have done 5 hours XC solo with not less than 150 nm and 2 full stop landing, and 2 hours IF with RAO registered airplane, so in my next step, I should do the convertion from RPC to RPL or I can straight to PPL?

hi everyone,

        I have finished my RPC last month and I continued my navigation training with RAO aircraft. Now, I have met all the requirements for PPL. someone advised me to get the cross country endorsements first, then do the convertion from RPC to RPL and the cross country endorsement will become Nav endorsement in the convertion, after that I can take PPL exam but that's a really expensive way so can I go directly to PPL without getting cross country endorsement and doing the convertion?

please give me some advice

thanks
