Re: UK / Ireland Reciprocal Agreement
SeanH, here is what the link says
FLIGHT CREW LICENSING
IRISH AVIATION AUTHORITY
Appendix 1
Pursuant to JAR-FCL 1.065(b) & 2.065(b) and subject to any other requirements in JARFCL
the Irish Aviation Authority (IAA) and the UK Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) agree the
following:
1. Ireland will be the State of CPL issue where an applicant successfully:
(a) completes a Modular CPL or ATPL Theoretical Knowledge Training Course at an FTO
approved by the UK and passes the associated examinations under the responsibility of
the CAA (see Note 1);
(b) completes a Modular CPL Flight Instruction Course at an FTO approved by Ireland
and passes the CPL Skill Test under the responsibility of the IAA; and
(c) passes the Initial Medical Examination for a Class 1 Medical Certificate under the
responsibility of the IAA.
2. The UK will be the State of CPL issue where an applicant successfully:
(a) completes a Modular CPL or ATPL Theoretical Knowledge Training Course at an FTO
approved by Ireland and passes the associated examinations under the responsibility of
the IAA (see Note 1);
(b) completes a Modular CPL Flight Instruction Course at an FTO approved by the UK and
passes the CPL Skill Test under the responsibility of the CAA; and
(c) passes the Initial Medical Examination for a Class 1 Medical Certificate under the
responsibility of the CAA.
I understand from that that if you do a CPL with a CAA FTO, so could be in the US, your CPL will be issued by the CAA, if you have done your ATPL Theory in Ireland.
