My FTO contacted the CAA to find out about me starting the CPL before finishing the exmas - I only have 4 left to do.
The CAA said it is fine to start the training, but the CPL skill test cannot be taken until the exams have been passed, and of course the qualifying cross country flight taken.
They also said that it should be made absolutely clear to me to understand that should I not pass the exams, the CPL skill test can not be taken, and this can lead to a lot of wasted money and time!
