Just to clarify the situation regarding the amount of theory training required: if you have an ICAO CPL(H) and wish to convert to a JAA CPL(H) you do
not have to undertake 650 hours of theory. That is only if you are wishing to convert your ICAO CPL(H) to JAA ATPL(H)
Undertake CPL(H) theoretical knowledge instruction as determined by the Head of Training of an approved training provider and pass ALL of the JAR-FCL theoretical knowledge examinations at CPL(H) level.
Applicants who wish to attempt examinations at a higher level (i.e. ATPL(H) level) must undertake the full 650 hour course of approved theoretical knowledge instruction and pass ALL of the JAR-FCL

There is a similar section for converting an ICAO ATPL(H) to JAA ATPL(H).
