Brit Air Requirements

[D Rate]

Hi guys, just confused with respect to the requirements of Brit air.
On the website contains the following information;

Détenir une licence CPL IR ou ATPL validée par l'autorité française avec IR en cours de validité .


I hold an ICAO(Australian) ATPL
I hold a copilot IR ( due current employment with major carrier in Aust)

All other requirements for residency will be met soon....
With regard to 'ATPL validee' how is the validation granted?
Is it the same as the UK and I require the conversion to the JAA licence with all the cost and theoretical requirements??:(

Thanks for your replies!:ok:

Hi,
that means you need a JAA licence and thereafter you need to make it approuved by the French CAA (so called DGAC).
To get it, it says that "applicants need to be fluent in french, if not they need to be fluent in english"..
good luck ;)

Hi Drate,

D rate; as you can see i'm an Aussie too. I speak french as well; fluently considering I have lived there half my life. So do you work for qantas? I'm planning on applying to the 2007 qantas cadet pilot training program. I have doen thorough research about all aspects of the selection process and am well prepared; at least I believe. Cause i hold an EU passport; I had been hoping the BA cadet sponsorship scheme would have been open; unfortunately it has been closed off the last couple of years to my understanding.
You really planning on making a move to work for ba? just curious
cheers
