Credits for previous experience
Pilots holding a valid IR(A) shall be fully credited towards the dual instrument instruction time. Pilots holding a valid IR(H) may be credited up to 5 hours of the dual instrument instruction time, in which case at least 5 hours dual instrument instruction time shall be given in an aeroplane.
Experience. An applicant for a CPL(A) who is not a graduate from an integrated flying training course shall have completed as a pilot on aeroplanes having a certificate of airworthiness issued or accepted by a JAA Member State at least 200 hours of flight time.
Crediting. From the 200 hours of flight time:
