Great information on the CASA ATPL theory. This would certainly assist many in completing their CASA ATPL theory exams. However, would you or anyone know what is the next step in obtaining a CASA ATPL?
Below is the extract from the CASA website. However, I would appreciate some clarity on it.
How do I get my ATPL?
You must be at least 21 years old to get your ATPL. You also need to do the following for the category rating you want to get with your ATPL:
- hold either a commercial pilot licence or multi-crew pilot licence with the same aircraft category rating
- complete the relevant flight training
- learn the theory and pass an ATPL theory exam for the category rating
- complete an approved course of multi-crew cooperation training
- pass an ATPL flight test
- meet the minimum aeronautical experience requirements.
1. What is the "relevant flight training" which is being referred to?
Would the hours obtained (1500+) during commercial flying be relevant?
Or would the relevant training undertaken during command upgrade cover this requirement?
2. Which examiner would conduct an ATPL flight test? No information on this is provided by CASA.
3. Would the "Minimum aeronautical experience" include the 1500+ hours with specific hour requirements for PIC, NIGHT, cross country, etc.
Thank you
