Odd ATPL Theory question...
Hi all, looking for some assistance here with a slightly odd ATPL theory question.
So back in the Early 2000’s I did my ATPL’s and gained a JAR CPL, which then became an EASA CPL and now a CAA CPL but never added a full IR so effectively lost my ATPL theory credits.
Currently I get by flying my light twin around for business and pleasure using my CPL/Multi/IR(R) however I’m planning to upgrade that to a full IR using the CB-IR route which looks like I will only need to re-do 4 ATPL theory exams as I currently hold a valid CPL. This part all makes sense, it gets weird from here.
Further to the above, I’m now also considering a career change to fly for a living, though I will hold a CPL/Multi/IR, I wont have a FzATPL due to expired ATPL theory credits and will therefore need to regain these in order to be able to hold a multicrew type rating.
In order to gain a FzATPL from this situation does anyone have any clue what I will need to do with regards exams? The CB-IR route seems to grant me reduced theory requirements for gaining an IR given I already have a CPL, however I’ve no idea if these count in any way with regards credits towards a FzATPL? Is anyone please able to clarify the requirements here as I’m struggling to find a solid answer.
All answers greatly appreciated!
