JAR Integrated Minima
The absolute minimum hours possible for a JAR Integrated course are 195 plus the skills test hours flown. Most FTOs include 5-10% more than this as very few students can pass the skills test with JAR minimum hours.
JAR Modular requires 150 hours to commence the CPL and 200 for CPL License issue. Some of those last 50 hours are earned on the CPL course and the remaining are usually knocked out during the IR and then the MCC adds even more.
I can only assume lgt is not licensed under the JAR system as he would not have a CPL/IR/MCC with only 190TT.
If there is a TRTO willing to take him on with 190TT under JAR they are probably breaking a few rules regarding pre-requisites for a TR! 100 hours PIC, ME, IR and MCC are training pre-requisites for an MPA Type Rating (Sec F4.1, page 14 - 2006 LASORS)
