I passed my CPL test first time - yay for me. I've been holding off sending off the forms to the CAA because I was planning to do my IR straight away and apply for them both together. Its been a while now and due to lack of finances and poor job prospects I've decided to just send off the forms for the CPL.
Bit of a problem though from my logbook and student training log I can see that I have only done 5:40 Instrument time out of 26 hours training for the CPL. As I understand it without An IR I should have done a minimum of 10 hours Instrument training as part of the CPL course. On the course I didn’t have any issues with the Instrument Flying as I had an imc before I started so my instructor didn’t spend much time dwelling on it and focussed on areas where I needed it.
I have all the forms and my logbook signed by the Head of Training at my FTO and the Skills test pass certificate from the examiner. But I’m worried that if I send these to the CAA they are going to say that my skills test pass is invalid as I didn’t have the 10 hours Instrument training before the test.
Has anyone else been in this situation or know anyone that has, what was the outcome?
