What was the credit, 50%? What was the max? You already had all the hours you needed to transfer to EASA CPL(H) thus not requiring any extra flight hours in EU? I was looking at that and they require 155hr for EASA CPL(H). But they say "total". Is that 155hr rotary only or can fixed wing be credited?
Me with 135hrs and 70 PIC helo maybe could come out ahead than paying for an additional 60hrs PIC fixed wing for the EASA CPL(A).
