I would check with BEagle about what counts and what doesn't. It might just be 10 hours. You will be lucky to complete the rest of the syllabus in 35 hours.

Also things are going to change in the not so distant future, they haven't got the Mil transfer stuff sorted out yet for EASA so you might have to do the full 45 hours.

As for an instructors point of view for ones that were 10 years out, I did one who was a pleasure but to be honest not that special. And another one who was really quite sharp on the hand foot stuff but kept on rabbiting on about aero's, low level recoverys and running breaks and to be honest I never really trusted him to only go and do what the brief was for the solo work.

I think the first one took 36 hours and the second took 45 due to him being u ****e at NAV and having to do extra sorties. The first one never mentioned the UAS and the second one metioned it at least 4-6 times a lesson.
