Old TMG (or LAPLs w TMG) Hours logged after conversion to PPL
So here is the scenario:
I've had a TMG license for a few years, flying a couple of hundred hours. As a formality it was later converted to a EASA LAPL(S) with TMG rating.
Now, I have converted my LAPL(S) to a PPL(A). And I've flown a total of 30 hours SEP(L) all together.
I know that I now can log hours flown in a TMG as "PPL-hours" - but is my old LAPL-hours now valid as hours, for exampel to use for starting a CPL?
For example:
LAPL hours: 150
PPL hours: 50
Minimum required for starting CPL: 200
Will it count?

The hours required for a CPL are
To apply for a CPL you need a total of 200 hours flight time as follows:
The interesting point here is that it refers to categories of aeroplane and the TMG bridges two categories. In the case of TMG hours flown on a LAPL Aeroplane or PPL they should be countable exactly the same as SEP however; if flown on a LAPL Sailplane you could only count 30 hours.
