CPL REQUIREMENTS

Hi all, can you help me on this one?

Experience

The applicant shall have completed in aeroplanes not less than:

(a) 200 hours of flight time or 150 hours if completed during a course of approved training. This may include a maximum of 10 hours in a synthetic flight trainer.
(b) the above is to include:

(i) 100 hours as pilot in command (70 hours in the case of an approved course.
(ii) 20 hours of cross-country flight time as pilot in command including a flight of not less than 300 nm with two full stop landings at different aerodromes.
(iii) 20 hours of instrument instruction time of which not more than 5 hours may be ground time.
(iv) if the licence is to be used at night; 5 hours of night flight time including 5 take-offs and 5 landings as pilot in command.

Question; can I start my CPL training at 150hrs total time but only 30hrs P1, complete the training and do the test, and then come up with the rest of the hours in order to have the CPL issued?
Or, do the required hours as stated above need to be completed prior to doing the test?

Thanks if you can clarify
Pm
