18 Month Time Limit

[gap]

Hi,

The 18 month time limit to complete all the ATPL exams. Does it include the month you sat the first exams or is it counted from the end of that month.

ie: First exam sat in October 2007. will the time expire in March 2009 or April 2009?

Thanks and Happy Christmas All,

The limit is the end of the 18th month. So in your example the answer would be end of April 2009.

you must get CPL/IR within 36months of last exam then if you do that you have 7 years to gain the hours/experience required to "unfreeze" the ATPL

if you miss either of these deadlines you have to do the lot again :uhoh:

It can all be found in LASORS which is downloadable from the CAA's site.

Not exactly true! as long as you keep your IR (revalidate it now and then) your ATPL theory credits stay valid and you could get an atpl issued many years after sitting your atpl exmas (8 + years).

You have lots of time!
At one time you had to do all the exams and skill tests in less time than this! I'm sure there are lots of people on here who did this.
