Hi all,
I am currently considering the modular route and I have a few questions (EASA).
From my understanding the route is: PPL > hour building > ATPL theory > CPL > MER > IR > MCC & airline pilot standard > UPTR
- A pilot I spoke with recommended doing the hour building after the ATPL theory. Is that a requirement, or any specific reason for that? Will that be ok if I do the hour building between the completion of the PPL and the ATPL theory instead?
- Again, about the hour building, does it matter where I do it? Could I for example do 40 hours in Spain, 40 in Portugal 20 in the UK? Or is it recommended I stick to the same country/provider for this too?
- Would it be fair estimate that after the ATPL theory, it would take me an average of 3 months to complete the CPL, ME, IR, APS/MCC and UPTR?
- When building hours, are there any specific requirements? Like night flight time, cross country, cross country lading at a different airport etc?
Would be great if someone knew the answers to those!
Thanks
