This problem has generally been perpetuated by the hours builders desperate for every minute they can grab.
Indeed...I'm happy that the two 'combos' of P1 & nothing or P U/T & P1 for club check outs are both correct, however what made me wonder was this (posted a few pages back):
Hi there
its **** here, you helped me out with advice early this summer re regulations as far as jar and lasors are concerned and i was hoping you could do it again!
i have just had a reply regarding my application for cpl/me/ir saying that my hours are short for 2 reasons....
1) P1 should be 100 and mine are 4hrs short as club checks and school checkout rides are not able to be logged under P1s or Pus (different to what many opinions say on pprune
2) Cpl total has to be 200hrs and they are saying that only 5 of my 40hrs fnpt2 hrs can be included so i need another 17hrs!!!! (again opinions on pprune seem to vary between no sim hours allowed - all allowed - 20hrs allowed but i have never seen 5hrs mentioned
I know this is a big ask as i dont know you but your advice was so good and accurate last time that i was hoping that you could help a very panic stricken fellow out with some more advice
thanks ****
One can only assume that the CAA took issue with it because of the use of P1 U/S and had it been logged as P1 with the instructor logging nothing it would have been fine.
But it was then followed by this:
The CAA gentleman concerned, a personal friend, confirmed that it was the case that club checks and school checkout rides would not be counted towards the PIC requirement for the issue of a licence or rating.
How can the CAA comment on something which according the regulatory structure doesn't exist?
