And be very careful of this catch. If for some reason down the track you decide that you want the full credits for the Aus ATPL (ie the subjects) it can get very messy. IF you fail any one of the subjects you will in effect failed a subject for the issue of a licence that you already hold. CASA will give you with a very limited time period to pass ALL subjects or they will cancel your ATPL that was issued on the back of your FAA ATP. Think long and hard before going down this road. It's cheaper just to jump through the hoops here at home and get a fully accredited licence. Might seem like a short term fix but in the long term you'll moe than likely regret it. At some point though invest in a FAA ATP. Can come in very handy when working OS.
