Ok, recall that the old proverb is that CAA stands for Campaign Against Aviation.
And remember from your training long ago:
AC61.10
For a piston multi-engine (non centreline-thrust) aeroplane not exceeding 5700kg MCTOW Initial issue - 5 hours; subsequent types - 1 hour.
This same document has for Helicopters over 5700Kgs 10hrs required.
However has nothing stated for Multi Engine Aeroplanes over 5700kgs in this document, but you can see where I am going, most likely the requirement is for complex aircraft, first type, not done in a simulator...10hrs. -I am still looking.
