With the coming into force of EU...... This means that the candidate must have at least 200 hours flight time prior to taking the skills test.
Hi,
To my understanding (please correct me if I am wrong as I am near the CPL Course stage!). You could easily do the PPL (50 ish hours), Hour Build (120 hours), start the CPL ME with 170 hours in the bag (which would save money by not doing the MEP rating separately?) and be ready to sit the exam upon reaching 200 TT as it is doubtful to do the course in the minimum 28hours?!
In my opinion it is fun to do a little hour building in a different country, different environment, chart designs, UNICOM! IMC Rating is also a blast and a good warm up for IR and provides peace of mind when flying in the UK, unless you will do the IR after completing the theory before 170 hours.
Best of luck
