16 and screwed??

Post by LT »

Okay, question,

According to one school it's all good, and according to TC its not..

So question,

if you hold a RPP

and build dual time to 52,

in my eyes and the schools you have 17 dual and 35 dual..

So our theory is you could get your ppl right away and in theory if age permitted your CPL...

But according to TC,

all the dual you get prior to the PPL is used only for that and you'll need a fresh 35 dual to meet the CPL BS.

Your thoughts on this? Is that correct?

The dual required for the CPL must be aquired specifically for the issue of the CPL. There are some minor workarounds though. For example you used to be able to count up to three hours of type checks towards the thirty-five hours. Not sure what is specifically acceptable anymore.

You might be able to argue that some of your fifty-two hours count towards your CPL if you have it in your commercial PPR and the training specifically applies to commercial training. The key here is being reasonable. Only try to use what really applies.

One thing to be careful about if you own your own aircraft is to make sure you get five hours of dual cross country. When i went to get my licence signed off i discovered i only had 4.2 :oops: We never bothered doing any cross country training except for the night because i had to cross country to get to my instructor anyway. Very embarrassing.

Diversions count as X/C...that was always a saving grace.

You are required to hold a PPL prior to training for CPL. You are required to have 35 hours dual on course for your CPL. You cannot go direct from RPL to CPL.

This is very clear in CARs under prerequisites for each course.
