Grey area. My EASA authority allowed me to credit helicopter hours towards the 100 PIC required for CPL(A) but only if I held a valid EASA CPL(H). Total pedantry. I had flown those hours on an FAA commercial but it was still cheaper for me to spend 10 hours getting the EASA CPL(H) than it was to build the extra airplane PIC.
