Nearly there SM,

Unfortunately, FNPT II time cannot be logged.

Assuming the following start point and all completed in minimum hours.

150 hours TT; 100 hrs PIC

MEP CR - 6 hours + 1 hour Skill Test (157 TT; 101 PIC) - although no requirement for Skill Test if going straight on to IR(A)

IR(A) - 55 hours (40 FNPT II; 15 aircraft) + 2 hours Skill Test (174 TT; 103 PIC)

CPL(A) - 15 hours + 2 hours Skill Test (191 TT; 105 PIC)

Still 9 hours short. Personally, and this is merely my opinion, I would exchange 10 FNPT II hours for an additional 10 hours on the aircraft on the IR(A). 30 hours in the sim is more than enough to get to grips with the procedures but an extra 10 hours flying the actual aircraft is invaluable, especially if you've no complex time to start with. Of course, there would be extra costs but probably worth the outlay.
