Thanks everyone.
So what you are saying is :
As I have a CAA PPL and valid IMC
I can get a 12 hour reduction on my IR,
But only if,having passed my GFT, I don't apply to the CAA for the issue of my JAA CPL, but continue on to do my IR course and on passing my GFT for that, I can then send off both applications to the CAA for the issue of the JAA CPL licence and IR privilages.
