Thanks very much guys for your help.
Couple more things:
1) To sit the ATPL exams, do you have to attend an authorised course in the UK?
2) Am I correct in thinking that if you pass the ATPL exams, you then have 36 months to go and pass the UK CPL?
i.e. I would have to:
- attend a course in the UK to do the ATPL exams
(then in the next 36 months)
- go and get FAA ATP certified in the US
- either convert to JAA CPL is the US or UK
- Do the IR in the UK (could do with the JAA CPL if not already done in the US)
- Do the ATPL skill test in the UK
Would I, after i'm FAA ATP certified, be able to come straight back to the UK and do an ATPL conversion course and get everything done in one hit?
Finally, at what stage do I go to Gatwick to go and pass my class 1 JAA medical on renewal limits?
Thanks for the help again and sorry if any of this stuff is obvious.
