Beagle, despite reading this same query nearly fifty times over the last five years, I'm still going to repeat this when it's my time

Hi there
The basic requirements are here
Bristol.gs
For greater detail, as beagles said, Lasors is the bible

Military flight time may count towards the Night Qualification (it's no longer a 'Rating') if you have logbook evidence of the equivalent flight training requirements. See LASORS E4.
Thanks to the 'Janet and John do Flying' changes of recent years, a pilot arrived at a multi-pilot aeroplane OCU from Learning Command without having actually flown solo at night, let alone a night cross-country... As we all did back in JP days.
He then went on to fly multi-pilot aeroplanes for the rest of his career, before PVR'ing. When he wanted his licence, he had to requalify on the PA28 and fly a solo night navex..
Although 'hours' always count - it's specific hours in specific categories of aircraft which matter for licensing purposes. The fact that an aircraft may not be on the civil register is irrelevant - although LASORS D3.3 lists specific types for which greater exemptions are available.
Incidentally, fast jet QFIs should note that 'back seat' time is not considered to be 'multi-pilot' time - that can only be gained on an aircraft for which the military requires a 2 pilot crew.
Also, you can use taxy time allowance for some purposes, but not towards qualifying for LASORS D3.3 'experienced QSP' exemptions.

Gee it's got complicated since I left almost 20 years ago. A quick letter to CAA. Nice man from CAA wrote back saying I needed Type Tech exam, Air Law, Loading and VP Props (never did understand why I needed the last 2), an I/R (kindly arranged on one of HM aeroplanes with CAAFU examiner jumpseating) and an 1179 - again on one of HM aeroplanes with QFI mate given one off approval to conduct the 'test.'
Then it was just a case of writing the cheque and checking the post every morning for the next 10 days for a green book in a brown envelope.
And then I spent 2 years trying to get my first job with an airline - but thats another story!
