turbolager i dont care of flight test or not cause i am not going to use nz atpl in newzealand i am a national of bahrain and gulfair is happy with newzealand atpl
well thats great dude, you do realise that after doing all the exams that you won't have an NZ ATPL licence don't you..... if you are required to hold an actual ATPL licence for your gulfair job, well thats kind of the whole point of my post. When you finish the NZ exams, you will hold a CPL not an ATPL, until you do the flight test which requires minimum hours as per AC61, and the test has to be done in a twin turboprop aircraft, or the Mohave in wanganui. Its an extremely expensive and ridiculous exercise when Australia will give you the licence just for doing the exams.

In Australia, you finish your exams, you get the licence (providing you have the required experience). In NZ, you don't, you have to do a flight test in a turboprop aircraft. Hence my post
