2. You can, but it's not straightforward. You would need to sign up to an EASA ATO, take the ATPL exams again, fly a lot more hours to meet the CPL minimums and take the CPL/IR tests again. It would be fat easier to convert (just the exams and an LPC) with an ATPL. But to get an ATPL you'd already need to have a job so...
thank you for this. As JurassicPilot said the Speedbird is actually an ATPL and not an MPL. So just so that it is clear to me, would convert it imply re-taking all of the ATPL exams (+ the LPC), correct? Thanks
