Did anyone hear if the Mil Bridging hours requirement is coming down to 1500 hours in total in the future.
What I mean is that Column 6 in the RAF logbook can be 1500 rather than the 2000 necessary at present.
I only ask since I am about to commit considerable funds and time into the full 14 exams and If I knew the amount was reducing to 1500, it would help a lot.
I have asked fcl but I am still waiting on an answer.
There is no help either on the tgda website.
Thanks

Thanks for the answer.
If there was a decision that the total would reduce in 12 months time to 1500or for Lasors 2008, then that would be excellent, but I guess I will just have to wait and see.
Cheers

I originally started this thread for a friend of mine who asked me the same question, and he wrote to FCL and got fobbed off, with his 1700 hours. Shame really, alot of other countries give their military pilots a freebie! Not UK plc!!!!!

I had a mix of rotary and fixed wing(fast jet) about 1000 hours of each.
Total time exceeded 2000 (just) and yet PIC was about 35 below 1500, after a bit of haggling with the CAA through phone calls and emails i was allowed to take the fixed wing bridging exams.
So my advice would be approach the CAA direct and beg !!
