2.Can I work on the GCAA ATPL ground school + examinations after the assessment and Type Rating, or do I have to complete them first?
3.I have a valid pilot license with IR and do not have an MCC; should I still finish the MCC course before the assessment? If so, which institution does Fly Dubai prefer me to do this through? Can I do this online? (The emails says: Valid Pilot License copy with IR rating / MCC certificate and ATP(L) written exam results (for all licenses))
4.Are there any other special requirements for FAA CPL holders?
5.Also the email says something about base training that is not included in the course which is do be done at candidates own expense: is base training mandatory for everyone and how expensive is it?
Any information regarding this will be very helpful for me, thank you so much!
1. Yes all CPL holders need to do the theory 14 exams.
2. I think the new requirement is to do the exams before the type rating but i am not 100% sure. There were people who did it after the type rating but it should be done before joining flydubai.
3. Yes you need MCC unless you are an ATPL holder. Guys who joined with a full ATPL under this program did not have any of these requirments but for CPL you need the MCC and the 14 exams. You cannot do mcc online you need to do it in a sim and some classroom.
4. Nope, you need to meet their requirement.
5. Base training is only needed if your home country license requires it. For exams FAA licesne doesnt require base training for your type rating but if you are doing it for example on EASA license then you might have to do base training somewhere else for the rating to go in your license.
