That's the way I understand it (note I didn't say "

As I see it, you have 14 exams in an ATPL(H)/IR theory. That's the 13 of an ATPL(H)/VFR + subject 092 (IFR communications).
(
see FCL 2.470 (a) for Vfr and (d) for Ifr)
If you pass those 14, you have 3 years to get a CPL and an IR.
If you get only the CPL, they are still valid (no limit) for the issuance of an ATPL(H)/VFR.
If you get CPL&IR, then you have 7 years to take the ATPL(H)/IR practical test.
Question is if you get a CPL only and want to go for IR 4 years later?
Do you resit the 7 IR exams? or 092 only?
