Minimum requirements
Hi all,
I was hoping someone may be able to help me with a couple of queries relating to the minimum requirements query for an FI course. I’m planning to do this before doing a CPL/IR.
The two requirements I'm unsure about are-
1. have received at least 10 hours of instrument flight instruction on the appropriate aircraft category, of which not more than 5 hours may be instrument ground time in an FSTD;
Can the instrument appreciation hours I did as part of my PPL count towards this, or does it have to be specific IR training with an IR instructor?
2. completed at least 200 hours of flight time on aeroplanes or TMGs, of which 150 hours as PIC;
I don’t have 200 hours SEP, but have a good few hundred hours instructing on TMGs as a VGS Instructor on the Grob 109b. I know I can use 30 of these towards by CPL, but can I use them the same in this instance?
I’d really appreciate any advice from anyone with experience of either of these.
