Afternoon all,
Looking through LASORS requirements and restrictions for commercial training, the better to plan any training I undertake.
I get the timeframe for sitting ATPLs (18 months to do the lot, starting from the date of the first sitting you take)
I get the timeframe for getting CPL/ME/IR (36 months from the end of the month in which your last exam was passed)
It's the ATPL validity after this I want to be sure of.
A pass in the ATPL theory examinations will be accepted
for the issue of a CPL or IR during the 36 months from
the end of the month of the date of the final pass in the
examinations*. Provided that an IR is obtained during
this period, a pass in the ATPL theoretical knowledge
examinations will remain valid (for the purpose of ATPL
issue) for a period of 7 years from the validity date of the
most recent renewal IR entered in the CPL.
As I understand the above, so long as the IR is renewed within a 7 year period from the previous IR, then the exams remain valid and no resits are required?
And so to the question I haven't yet found an answer to. If you keep the above ticking over in the manner required, revalidating all bits as required, in theory there'd be no limit on when you needed to get ATPL?
Cheers all,
JR
