From the original poster:
I then returned to England and did the Atpls exams and started the long process of Converting my Licenses
From one of the numerous posters who can't read:
I find it incredible you managed to get through a JAA CPL without knowing how to log flight time but anyhow....
The poor chap did FAA (read again, FAA, not JAA) licenses in the states and over there the rules are that pretty much any time after PPL is counted as P1, INCLUDING Instrument Rating. In other words, he did what the FAR book said and what his instructors said.
Now on CONVERTING his licenses, he found out that JAA count any training as Dual, not P1. Oops!
Now if his plan was always to convert his licenses to JAA, he probably should have looked into the conversion process and the hours required in more detail. But if, like myself, he did his PPL/IR in the USA and then later on decided to move back to the UK and get an ATPL he would have been caught completely unaware. I certainly did and went into complete panic until I added up the remaining hours outside Dual and P2 and found that I had 135 hours P1 hours (as per JAA criteria). Thank god for all those long cross countries to Vegas and Napa Valley :-)
So the answer the original question, the CAA will only count your IR and Multi-CPL training hours as Dual. Only P1 is post PPL solo time and flight tests.
