Do P1(S) hours count as P1 time towards CPL issue?
Hi All
Can anyone tell me if P1(S) hours logged during successful flight tests (UK CAA NPPL GST and NST, , FAA PPL, CPL, Instrument and Multi tests) count towards the 100hr P1 on aeroplanes required for an EASA CPL? I think the answer is probably "yes" but I would hate to have my application bounced!
Before anyone mentions that I needed 100hrs P1 for the FAA CPL, I have a load of hours logged on powered flying machines which are recognised by the FAA for licence issue but not by EASA, and I have a lot of FAA "PIC" hours acquired during instrument raining etc which EASA don't recognise as P1/PIC.
Either way I'm only a couple of hours out, but it would be handy to know whether I need to do a bit more aeroplane flying.
Thanks
