The Annexes to the Regulation are not being adopted in the UK until 1 July and so the existing arrangements will continue until then. I get the impression that thereafter the UK CAA will not approve every individual course, as the Regulation suggests, but, provided that the training meets or exceeds a certain minimum number of hours, will leave it to the discretion of the ATOs. In practice, therefore, assuming that the minima set by the Authority are the same as those currently existing, nothing will change and the IR conversion requirement will remain 'training as required but not less than 15 hours'.
