Pre-reqs for 3-axis microlight AFI course

Hi

Can anyone confirm what the exact number of hours is required P1 on 3-axis microlights for a PPL(A) to apply to start an AFI course on the same type??

I understood it was "at the FIC's discretion" & usually somewhere between 25hrs & 65hrs. However, spoke to a flexwing FI at the weekend who suggested the rule has now become formalised & was 65hrs.

Was he getting confused with flexwings....or is it indeed also the case for 3-axis as well now?

Have all the other boxes ticked, but negligable time on 3-axis right now, so want to guage an idea of what kind of hours-building would be required after the "diffs sign-off" & NPPL(M) paperwork.

Many thanks
BFA
