You will train for the ATPL check only, although it is all the same stuff. In all you save approximately 3 weeks to 1 month.

Thanks for the clarification Fratemate, it makes sense to reduce a bit the course length.

Now a more operational question, on my current outfit we are allowed to do a lot of hand flying, sometimes visual approaches, provided we comply with the stabilisation gates. Is this the case with AJX? I really enjoy flying the plane and "aviate" (not only push buttons). How is this seen within the company?

Thanks for your contributions over the years,

BF
