"An applicant for an IR(A) shall hold a PPL(A) including a night qualification or CPL(A) and shall have completed at least 50 hours cross country flight time as pilot-in-command in aeroplanes or helicopters of which at least 10 hours shall be in aeroplanes."
'Maybe im too stupid to be a pilot after all because im having so many problems trying to read and understand this!'
So does this mean that by stating 'applicant for an IR' you only have to have the night qualification at the time you send off your licence to have the IR issued?
