FAA - CASA ATPL

You trying to get something for nothing??

The FAA ATPL with Exams is the easiest licence in the world to get, and being able to do the IFR component in a VFR R22 was a no brainer.
I have heard of guys just studying the books and answers on the 14 hr flight from YSSY to LAX and getting 100% on the exam....I had to have an extra nights study in a hotel and only got a 98%.

But Mate once you have that ATPL it is not worth a pinch of nanny goat stuff back in OZ.

If your thinking about being a professional Australian Helicopter Pilot, there is only one way to do that....study study and study, then feel good after you pass. Then do your IFR Traini ng in a proper aircraft in cloud.

Rant Over.
