Yes, quite a bit.
For example, (and although this is obviously FW orientated), the ATPL Performance paper covers SEP, MEP and MRJT (medium range jet transport - ie 737).
The IR Performance paper only covers SEP and MEP. I've never taken the CPL Performance paper but I imagine that it also only covers SEP and MEP. Therefore, you're missing out on the element that applies most directly to an aspirant ATPL.
Off the top of my head, on the Met paper, the IR syllabus doesn't cover Global Climatology, quite a significant proportion of the ATPL syllabus.
So, yes, in my mind CPL+IR
≠ATPL
.
PS Please don't turn this into a frustrated discussion of the relevance of the FW syllabus to the RW world. As it stands, we've got to take the same exams (so live with it!)
