Flight time credited as co-pilot
Hi
I'm having a nightmare with a question for Air Law exam. One of the practice papers asks:
"What percentage of co-pilot flying hours may be accredited as full flying hours for the purpose of issue of a higher licence such as a JAA ATPL?"
I seem to have 2 possible answers depending on the ICAO version and the JAR-FCL 1 version. They are as follows:
ICAO Annex 1 -
2.1.9.2 .. to be credited with not more than 50 percent of the co-pilot flight time towards the total flight time required for a higher grade of pilot licence.
or
JAR-FCL 1.050(a)(3)(i)
to be credited with all of the co-pilot flight time towards the total flight time required for a higher grade of pilot licence.
So I'm not sure what the answer would be? Am I right in thinking that as my flight training is in the UK the JAR-FCL 1 would be correct?
Sorry if I sound a little stupid but I just know I'll be asked the question in the exam!
Thanks for any help!

You need to ask your ground school provider under which legal basis the exam papers are set. I seem to remember that certain papers follow JAA. some were UK law and others ICAO.
As an aside under JAA your point 2 is correct. When you go for your ATPL all of your copilot hours (p2) will count towards the 1500hrs you need for the licence. You will of course have p1/s hours from when you are pilot flying plus lots of p1 hours from your hour building. Then there are the night hour requirements etc that go into the mix.
