CAA requirements for AOC holders are, I believe:
700 TT
400 PIC
100 ME
40 IFR ME
+ current IR
+ valid recurrent checks
This is a legal requirment, you can not fly public transport IFR without it. Cargo or Pax. There are no exceptions! The last one, I think is 40 M.E. P1. I believe the wording was, "100 IR of which 40 must be ME P1".
You may be able to make some of it up on line training possibly.
Aerial work is not subjected to this requirement.
