inandout, here are the
requirements for the issue of an ATPL.
Applicants must
* be at least 21 years of age
* be able to speak, read and understand the English Language
* hold or be eligible to hold a flight radiotelephone operator licence
* have passed a written examination (current exam consists of 7 parts)
* hold or have held a command multi engine instrument rating
* have a total of 1500 hours flight time including at least
*
o 750 hours in aeroplanes of which 250 must be as pilot in command (may include up to 150 hours acting in command under supervision)
o 200 hours cross country
o 75 hours instrument flight time
o 100 hours at night
So, basically, you'll need to get your CPL first where you'll finish up with 150 or 200 hours TT (depending on whether you do an integrated course or not).
After that, then you start building your experience working firstly in GA until you have the minimum 1500 hours TT. Whilst doing that, hopefully, you would have done the minimums stipulated above, eg 200 hours cross-country, 75 hours IF and 100 hours at night.
You also need to pass the ATPL theory subjects I referred to in my previous post.
After all that, you can then apply for the ATPL.
Hope this helps.
