looking at the first step - PPL - I can confirm from my own experience only 6 months ago, ALL of your military single piston engine fixed wing will be creditied towards the hours requirement for the PPL. You will then need to undertake a defined "re-famil" training course at an FTO and you will probably find also (like me) that you have a shortfall in the required solo nav hours from your military fixed wing training. I effectively did most of the PPL "nav" syllabus to re-familiarise and to include the required 150nm solo tri-angle.

My military fixed wing was Chipmunk & Bulldog....at Hamble, Plymouth & Leeming....that shows my age!

Lasors has the detail.

Good luck.
