Mf,

These requirements are for applicants, they are not pre-requisites. Your numbers are correct only in certain instances.

If you go to

JAR-FCL 1, Subpart D, 1.155

you'll find the complete text regarding a JAR-FCL CPL(A).

Good luck.

Redbar,

Sorry, you are wrong. According to page 63 of the document you reference:
Appendix 1 to JAR-FCL 1.160 & 1.165(a)(4)

2 (a) Before commencing a CPL(A) modular course an applicant shall be the holder of a PPL(A).....

(b) Before commencing the flight training an applicant shall:

(i) have completed 150 hours flight time as a pilot
(The use of bold is my own, and not from the original document.)

Just as a general rule, if you're going to point us to a 200+ page document, a page reference would be nice It took me 15 minutes to find this line, and that was when I knew exactly what I was looking for!!!

I suggest buying a copy of LASORS for £10, which, although not authoritative, gives all the information you need in a much more concise form. It's also available on-line now I believe - I'm sure someone who has the link handy will be happy to post it.

FFF,
Sorry, no hit. Mintflavour didn't indicate wether he/she wanted a modular or integrated course. If Mint goes ab-initio integrated, then (obviously) there are no pre-requisites like this! (See Appendices 1 to 1.160 & 1.165(a)(1), (a)(2) and (a)(3)) That's also why I specified that the numbers were only correct for certain instances.

JARs on JAA website are in .PDF format, so linking to single pages doesen't work. That's why I referred to both Subpart D and to the relevant para nr.

Anyway, mint can now access and enjoy reading the whole FCL

Assuming modular:

150 hours is pre-course.

100 hours P1 and 300-nm x-country are for licence issue (can sit course and take the test before).

Even though it says you need 150Hrs you need a TT of 200Hrs for the CPL to be issued and as the course is only 25Hrs you realistically need 175Hrs.

You also need a night rating as well don't you? Plus 100Hrs P1 time and 300nm Cross Country.

Thanks guys.
Im modular and will be sitting my final ATPL exams in June.

just that Im 25 hours short at the moment to start the CPL.

Havent read the text yet that the people above pointed out but just to check, the 300nm cross country .... is that the furthest waypoint 300nm away from departure airfield or you have to land at an airfield that has to be over 300nm away from the original departure airfield

Neither, mint.

It's a flight of at least 300nm, with landings at two airfields other than the starting airfield. In theory, it could consist of 3 legs, each of which is 100nm. But I think it's much more fun to go further afield, personally!

As for those 25 hours, it will probably work out fairly well for you. After finishing the exams, do those few extra flying hours, and then you'll be current when you start the CPL training - much better than starting the CPL immediately after 12 months of studying without doing any flying.

Good luck!

Redbar, must have been very tired last night because I completely missed your bit about "Subpart D, 1.155". Point taken about integrated training, have to admit I know very little about integrated training - just so long as we make it clear that for modular training, there are pre-requisite hours.

The 300nm x/c can be a big triangle if you want - as long as the straight line distances add up to 300nm or more and you carry out a full stop landing at two airfields in addition to the one you departed from.

Some people use the distance flown rather than the straight line distance, but I am sure (but prepared to be corrected) than the CAA can measure it if you're not careful and make you do another one!

Anybody know if solo time flown during the PPL course counts towards the 100 hrs PIC time needed for the CPL? I'm hoping it does otherwise I've got another dozen hours to worry about

It does indeed count towards your 100 hours P1 as you were Pilot in Command - doesn't matter if there was nobody else in the aeroplane at the time.

Dufwer,

P1 time is P1 time doesn't matter when you got.

For the 300nm cross country. Make sure you keep your landing fee reciept as proof you were there they day you said you were. Probably not so much a problem if you fly in the UK as the CAA can just pick up the phone.

200hrs before issue. Well if you are going to do your IR as well thats another 55 hours at least.

150 + 25 + 55 = enough for license issue.

You could also use some of those "extra" 25 hours to train for, and pass, the re-sit. (Attempt 2, Series 1)

I did a x/c last year touring around some of Florida. 7 airfields in one day and I need to measure but I believe it was in excess of 300nm, I could use this but as there are no landing fees or paper work out there how can I prove it. Would the CAA question this?

mint,

I think the fact that it was in florida the CAA are more likely to ask questions because its harder for them to checkup on you.

CAA checking flights: Did you record the flight in your logbook? Isn't that why you have to submit your logbook to them? It being a legal document serving as a record of experience etc etc.

If they choose not to accept the logbook entry then they're effectively accusing you of falsifying it - a rather serious transgression. I'd be surprised if they then didn't follow up with all sorts of legal nastiness...

Almosy certainly yes.

Yor flight scvhool should provide you with a document which you can get signed by airport officials during the stopovers of your qualifying trip.

The CAA may be charitable but that is their official position

My understanding is that you must land at NO MORE THAN two intermediate airfields in the course of the 300nm qualifying flight. In other words, a flight totalling 300nm made up of a lot of short hops wouldn't count.

How sure are you about that Tee

If you were to do four stops for example but still a good distance between them will the CAA except it.
The point is where is the fine line, as I have not heard of any documentation from the CAA that defines a valid x/c in this sort of detail.

I dont plan to use my florida trip as the x/c but I will like to make sure that when I do a x/c later this year that it will be a definate valid one.
