That's 36 months from completion of theoretical knowledge examinations... but what if Aware already holds a full CPL with IR? That's what I'm reading from his posts. The licence I guess is still valid but all the ratings will/may have lapsed. As an FI who has already carried out training for the IR, shouldn't he be covered under option 3 from the list on this page:
