So my understanding after reading 2close's letter and CAP804 is that to follow the traditional route of cpl, me, IR. I would now need to have 175 hours before start of training to reach the 200 required for licence issue.
It seems to me that now it would be better to gain the 150 including night and 70 PIC.
Start with the Me 6 hour course (70 PIC Required),
Multi/IR 55hr course (10 basic 45 Procedural) PPL Required
Then finish with the CPL (I think with the IR this is only a 15hr course)
Actually thinking about it could you start at 124 as by the time you have the ME and IR sorted you would have 185, enough for the 150 cpl course requirement, then 200 by the end of the cpl course enough for licence issue?
Potentially saving enough from the hour building for an MCC or extra time in the twin?
Edit: Actually somewhere in those numbers you still need 100 PIC for CPL Licence issue
