Sorry for dragging this to the top but going along the lines of academic study, ATPL study and training. Am I right in assuming you could spread the ATPL's over 2 years i.e. study for a year then sit the first module in the summer then another year of study then sit the 2nd module the following summer? You will be sitting the exams within an 18 month period but studying for them over 2 years. This will also be along with academic study for two years. Then do the CPL ME/IR after the second module of exams. Thus at the end of it I will have a frozen ATPL and a degree (assuming i can manage my time well
) It would be difficult but not impossible.
I already hold a PPL with quite a few hours under my belt including 43 hours with my UAS and have just finished my second year at uni.
