Bobdee,
I've searched the whole of
LASORS Section C (the section on PPLs), and I can't find the bit that you've quoted from anywhere.
The relevant section is in C1.3, and reads:
An applicant shall be deemed to have successfully completed the theoretical examinations for the JAR-FLC PPL(A) when awared a pass in all of the above examinations within a period of 18 months. A pass will be accepted for the grant of a JAR-FCL PPL(A) during the 24 months from the date of successfully completing all of the theoretical knowledge examinations
I can't see how it could be much clearer than that.
