Hard to follow as the dates you give keep changing in different posts.
I understand: Course started April 2010, CPL Skill Test passed 8 July 2011,
ATPL Theory passed Sept 2011 and IR Skill Test passed 12 or 13 July 2012.
Why did it take you 10 months from passing all Theory exams to taking
the IR Skill Test - that seems an awfully long time?
Given what you quote from OAA's email:
it has simply been his reluctance to re-fly the CPL skill test
It sounds like, after your IR, OAA warned you several times that you
would need to take the CPL Skill Test again (before April 2013).
Why didn't you?
Going forward. You could argue that your Integrated Course finished
on 13th July 2012 with your passing the IR Skill Test.
For Licence issue you will, obviously, need a valid CPL Test pass.
As, now under EASA, there is no time limit your pass of 8th July 2011
could count.
However you undertook an approved JAA course where there was a time
limit on CPL pass validity so it could be argued that as EASA is accepting
JAA courses your old CPL pass is not valid.
As long as you can get agreement that you have completed a course, then
maybe all you would need is to retake the CPL skill test.
Edited to add:
In their email:
Under EASA the course duration is 36 months maximum. you have commenced
your training in April 2010, thus 36 months has passed.
As OAA are quoting EASA Regs then assume you are applying under EASA
rules (and not JAA) - hence your course finished on 13 July 2012
(or even 17 Sept 2012 when EASA came in to force) and therefore your
CPL Skill test is valid for Licence issue.
Hurry up your IR is only valid until 12 July 2013.
Good luck
