ATPL student
In Europe (or any JAA country) almost any new IR student does his ATPL
theory first. There is so little difference between a full ATPL course and a IR-only theory course that most do the full ATPL. If you get your IR rating your ATPL theory no longer expires, so you are set to continue to CPL and eventually ATPL. It does make IR ratings unnecesarily complex though (compared to FAA IR) TMG "Frode Berg" wrote in message . .. "N4865G" ... Gents, Frozen ATPL is purely JAR licence required to fly commercially in Europe. It relates to passing the theory part of the rating. You still need to have your Commercial, IR, etc. but chances of getting a flying job without one are marginal. ATPL gets 'unfrozen' passing 1500TT flight time. Cheers Dom Hi! What I meant but described poorly, is that I have started the ATPL theory, which includes the IR and CPL theory. I have to pass the IR theory before getting my IR rating, and en Europe if I later found out I wanted to get a CPL or ATPL (in ove 1000 hours time, I know...) I would have to take the entire course one more time, as there are currently no stepping stones up from the IR to the CPL. At least not here in Norway. Maybe different in other Europe countries. Anyway, the IR part is the major part of the CPL and ATPL theory anyhow, so it kind of makes sense to do the whole thing if you don't rule out any chance of wanting to pursuit the other ratings later. Anyway, just excited I have finally actually started my IR rating (and getting the theory done towards the other ones at the same time!) :-) Frode |
