There seems to be some confusion here, so I will try to clarify where the relevant details are from.

The hours requirements as per Lasors are dependant on the licence and how it is reached.

Integrated course for CPL

A "graduate" shall have minimum 150 hours, including 80 hours dual and 70 hours solo. To include 20 hours cross country, 5 hours instruction on complex types, 5 hours night, 10 hours instrument instruction.

Integrated course for CPL/IR

A "graduate" shall have minimum 180 hours, including 80 hours dual and 100 hours solo. To include 50 hours cross country, 5 hours night, 100 hours instrument time.


Integrated course for ATPL(a)

A "graduate" shall have minimum 195 hours, including 95 hours dual and 100 hours solo. To include 50 hours cross country, 5 hours instruction on complex types, 5 hours night, 115 hours instrument time.

MODULAR ROUTE CPL

An applicant must have completed a minimum 200 hours total time, including 100 hours PIC, 20 hours cross country, 5 hours night, 10 hours instrument instruction.

For those with the joy of going through the integrated routes, there shouldn't be a worry about how many hours of each type are needed since you are paying your training provider for the fact that they provide the minimum training for the licence issue. For the modular route, the hours requirements are slightly higher, but check lasors as there are further stipulations as to what the night hours must be made up of along with a minimum 300nm navigation route being flown.

Lastly, the CPL course (modular) must consist of 25 hours dual flight instruction, including 5 hours in a complex aeroplane. This can be combined with a multi rating, but overall, it does not change the minimum hours required.

Note furthermore, that in completing a modular route you need the hours on application, so the 25 hours for the CPL training can be included into the dual time required.

Hope this clears up the mud
