ICAO CPL conversion to EASA ATPL(f)
Hello everyone. First thank you for taking your time to read my post.
I am looking for information about hour requirement to convert my Canadian CPL(A) into a EASA ATPL(f).
First, are EASA requirements the same throughout EU? Or different countries might have slightly different requirements for a ATPL(f)?
Second, did I understood correctly that the difference between holding a EASA CPL(A) and a ATPL(f) are the 13 ATPL exams? so a ATPL(f) is CPL(A) + the 13 ATPL exams? Or are additional hours involved?
Third, I am looking specifically for what hours do I still need to buy at a ATO in order to achieve the minimum required to convert my Canadian CPL(A) into EASA ATPL(f) (besides the 13 theoretical exams).
For the 3rd question here are my hours. If additional breakdown is required, please let me know and I can provide.
TT: 1600+
Multi: 1300+ (of which 900 on turbojet but I'm sure this does not matter)
Cross Country: 700+
Actual IR: 150+ (I only logged actual in-cloud flying). If I were to log the entire commercial flights, it would be 900+.
PIC: 105 of which 70 on helo
PIC Cross Country day: 45 of which 30 on helo
PIC Cross Country night: 5
As you may notice, I am severely lacking in PIC and starting with a CPL helo, then converted into a fixed-wing CPL in Canada isn't help I'm sure. I am FO at an airline, but there is no system in Canada to gain the necessary hours for ATPL requirement, and Canada does not have a frozen ATPL system. I would literally have to rent a C152 and do circuits for 150hrs to unlock the hour requirement. Very pointless when I'm currently flying a commercial jet and very expensive.
My understanding is that in Europe once you have a ATPL(f) all the required hrs to unlock the ATPL can all be done from the right seat on any multi certified aircraft, with the minimum hour requirements for a CPL.
Therefore, in order to achieve the EASA ATPL(f), besides the 13 ATPL theoretical exams, what are the exact hours that I still need to do at a ATO? I assume there will still be some single engine PIC and most likely some multi engine PIC as well? Is the Instrument Rating transferable?
Thank you very much!
