ATPL Theroy expired, what now ?
Well, its finally time to bite the bullet and face facts.....
I did my JAR ATPL exams circa 4 years ago now and though I completed my CPL in the time, due to some unfortunate circumstances I was unable to add an I/R to my CPL.
So my question is therefore this....
What do I now need to do to obtain a frozen ATPL ?? As far as I can see I need to re-sit all 14 ATPL exams (nightmare) and then obviously obtain an IR.
I cant seem to find out however if there is any sort of upgrade theory course for those already holding a CPL ?? Some schools have mentioned that a reduced course of study can be done for CPL holders but despite a number of e-mails I'm not getting any responses ? Surely I don't need to do the full 650 hours of study all over again which would be the same as a basic PPL holder and utter madness!
Can anyone shed any light on this as I'm getting nowhere fast, schools don't seem to want to reply and the CAA have been just as evasive. All seems to be a bit of a grey area from what I can tell however I'm sure there are others in the same boat as me.
Any wisdom would be greatly appreciated!
