FNPT 2 hours

[C195]

I couldn't find the answer in LASORS. Can FNPT 2 hours gained as part of a multi-engine IR course be counted towards the 200 hours required for CPL licence issue or must all the 200 hours be actual flight time?

Was also wondering having just finshed my CPL, if say I had 150hour Total Time when i started my CPL would i then finish with 175 TT or 170 TT with 5 in the sim? Do they count towards my total time?

Thanks

You need to refer to LASORS section D1.2(D) under the heading Experience

The 200 hours must include 10 hours of instrument dual instrction of which not more than 5 can be in an FNPT 1 or 2 or a flight simulator.

So, if you do 5 hours in an FNPT 1 or 2 as part of your CPL, then none of the IR FNPT1 or 2 time can count towards the 200 hours for CPL issue.

If you don't do any FNPT time as part of your CPL then 5 hours of your IR time can count.
