Alex Whittingham ohh so likely hood of me having the hours for the ATP issue is very low as fi would need 350 hours ME, which in the helicopter world would be virtually impossible in that time. In all honesty as for me this is only a want to achieve the next training level and eventually complement my FAA CFI, as opposed to a career choice, whilst it would be nice to do a bit from time to time for a career it wouldn't pay the mortgages, or afford me my own machine. It makes sense to do the ATPL-H VFR as I understand there is no time limit on adding the IR later should I wish, hence why I didn't just think of CPL route as I would have to re-do all the exams again I believe?
So perhaps I am better with the UK CP and then if necessary sit all teh EASA exams later should i need to.. I'm more likely to fly non-easa aircraft, either G, N r C reg in any case ?
THE ICAO was supposed to make everything comparable to each other and then politicians happened I guess!
