Hour requirements For CPL

[Black White Orange]

Just a quick one,
150 hours PIC for CPL? Correct?
Does this include the 10 solo hours built pre-PPL? (cross countries etc)

Many Thanks,

Patrick

For Licence issue you must have completed at least 200 hours of flight time, including
a minimum of 100 hours Pilot in command time of which
20 hours must be of cross country flights as Pilot in Command, which must include a cross country flight of at least 300NM in the course of which full stop landings at two aerodromes different from the aerodrome of departure must be made.

Edited to just include the extract from the CAA website.

Pre PPL PIC hours count.

Definition of a cross country flight, is of course, one in which you do not return to the original airfield? No other requirements?

Wrong! ‘Cross-country’ means a flight between a point of departure and a point of arrival following a pre-planned route, using standard navigation procedures. There is nothing to prevent the point of arrival being the same as the point of departure.
