Hello,
Just a little information which I hope someone can shed some light on.
I have been reading LASORs and I see that you need 100hrs P1 in order to have a CPL issued, 200hrs TT.
Currently I have 100hrs TT, with 68ish P1. I intend to do my training with BFC, so IR first and CPL afterwards. Which works out something like:
55hrs (IR) + 15hrs (CPL) + 10hrs (ME) + 100Hrs (already)= 180hrs.
With this I need 20hrs further in order to hit the 200hr required, if I complete all the training in minimum time. But is there any time in the IR rating which is Student PIC? If this is the case then can I use some of that time towards 100hrs P1 required?
The reason I ask is because if I cannot then I have to do another 10hrs PIC @£100/hr = £1000. Which would be a nice saving and could be put towards loan repayments...
Secondly, I also see you can count 30hrs gliding time for CPL issue, I have 30hrs gliding time with 18 P1.... Has anyone ever succesfully done this?
If anyone has ever been through this or knows the answers please let me know.
Many thanks
Andy
