PPL theory time limits
Hey everyone, I need help understanding this paragraph in LASORS which I have pasted below.
My plan is to do all my PPL theory examinations before I actually start my practical flight training.
"An applicant shall be deemed to have successfully completed the theoretical examinations for the JAR-FCL PPL(A) when awarded a pass in all of the above examinations within a period of 18 months counted from the end of the calendar month when the applicant first attempted the examination.
A pass will be accepted for the grant of a JAR-FCL PPL(A) during the 24 months from the date of successfully completing all of the theoretical knowledge examinations."
Does this mean once I do my first exam (Air Law) I then have 18 months to finish off the rest?
And when I pass all of my exams, my passes (collectively) are valid for 24 months?
