In respect of the training conducted for your PPL, the CAA applied the Aircrew Regulation with effect from 17 September 2012, so all training undertaken prior to this date was conducted under the relevant JARs. As your PPL skill test was conducted after 8th April 2016 we are unable to automatically take into account any training that was conducted under JAR towards any part of the hours requirement needed for the issue of the PPL.
