Retaking ATPL Theory after 3 year expiry and CPL training hours validity
Hi all,
Long story short, passed my final ATPL theory in June 2021. 3 year clock starts for completion of CPL issue.
I have completed the entire CPL course and had recommendation for test issued HOWEVER it will not be possible for me to do the Skills Test before my exams expire thus I am resigned to sitting them all again in order to have a CPL issued ( I didn't waste the first set though as I had a Flight Intructor rating issued so I don't feel a TOTAL numpty). So, facing up to this fact I have a couple of questions.
1. To resit my 14 ATPL exams, will I need to go through a school again (with the compulsory groundschool etc) or can I sit them independently of a school, having already attended during my first set?
2. Will my actual CPL flying training expire (or just the recommendation for test?) Whilst I really don't mind doing the theory exams again, I DO mind if the flying course hours become null and void.
I have done as much research as possible on these subjects but drawn a bit of a blank.Apllogies if I've missed the answers somewhere obvious.
Best wishes.
