1500 answer!
I believe someone is getting their wires crossed. 1500 hrs does come into it but that's P1 on either fixed wing or rotary depending on licence (CPL(A) or CPL(H)). 2000 hrs total still stands and if you do some digging you realise the 2000 hrs is set as it is so that you have enough hrs for a full ATPL! I know you only get a CPL(H) but if you do a quick IR (!!!) you go straight to ATPL(H). Minimum hrs 2000, which I don't reckon will change otherwise you'd have ex military types jumping up over civvies. 2000 hrs it is then. Any Q's READ LASORS!!!!!!
