Thanks for the info Linda,
Interestingly, I also have written confirmation from the Licensing & Training Standards Policy of the United Kingdom, Civil Aviation Authority which clearly states that the only credits available for an IR conversion are by doing an integrated CPL/IR (which we both know is totally pointless) or the 10 hours credited from holding an EASA Part-FCL CPL / BIFM Course Completion Certificate.
This obviously contradicts what you've been informed (contradictory information coming out of the CAA - unheard of surely!). May I suggest we put our collective heads together to get this sorted as our students are seriously hacked off with the uncertainty. I'll drop you a PM with my contact details.
Whilst I sincerly hope that your correspondence carries far more weight than mine, what I do note from your post is that it states:
"2.
Applicants for Part–FCL licences already holding at least an equivalent licence, rating or certificate...."
We are talking about an applicant for a rating NOT a licence and personally I feel it is inexcusable that it is not stated clearly within the applicable Regulation, AMC, GM or CAP 804 (
). It's not rocket science to put things in clear, unequivocal terms.
Hopefully, speak later.
