Hi
Maybe someone from experience can clarify this doubt I have regarding Flight hour requirements for the EASA ATPL.
Flying Experience
You must have completed a minimum of 1,500 hours of flight time in aeroplanes, including at least:
500 hours in multi-pilot operations on aeroplanes
500 hours as Pilot in Command (PIC) under supervision; or
250 hours as PIC; or
250 hours, including at least 70 hours as PIC, and the remaining as PIC under supervision
200 hours of cross-country flight time of which at least 100 hours shall be as PIC or as PIC under supervision;
75 hours of instrument time of which not more than 30 hours may be instrument ground time; and
100 hours of night flight as PIC or co-pilot.
I am not very familiar with hours gathered during a CPL integrated but I read it was 70 PIC.
In my case I did Modular so I have 100+ Hours PIC.
My point and question is both cases you comply with 70h PIC so you need to complete to 250H with PIC U/S Hours.
Don't see the point of the 500 PIC U/S or there is something I am not reading correctly!!
Second question is about Instrument Time.. What does the CAA consider Instrument time. Time spent flying the A/C by sole reference to the instruments? IFR? IMC time? Then Ground instrument time FFS only or FNPT counts as well???
thank you all for comments!!
Happy landings and merry xmas!!
