Back to the recent amendment, Commission Regulation 245/2014 goes on to state:
Quote:
(ii) When the applicant has prior instrument flight time under instruction other than specified in point (a)(i), these hours may be credited towards the required 40 hours up to a maximum of 15 hours.
BEagle, my apologies, I had missed that the above paragraph was not covered by the 'Training Record' requirement. However how to prove such training to an ATO remains an issue - of course anyone who was ever issued an IMC/IR(R) (or a CPL?)
must have done at least 10 Hours of IF Instruction.
AMC5 and AMC6 to Appendix 6 have now provided sufficient guidance to the CAA to enable them to formulate conversion requirements from the IR(R) to the C-bM IR.
BEagle, thanks for the explanations. I suppose then that we need to wait for the CAA to publish these requirements, since ultimately it's going to be their precise interpretation that matters. Do you know what the timescale is supposed to be for this?
As I surmised, nothing in writing yet - but hope for the future.
