Hi guys,
I am trying to help out a buddy of mine who is in the States doing some time building and working on his JAA ATPL Papers..
Now
AFAIK to get the "Frozen JAA ATPL" one needs to have a CPL+ME+IR and clear the 14 papers..
please correct me if I am wrong does it state in some recent revision in the JAR that the CPL too has to be a JAA CPL.
My friend was given the following information by a Captain of a EU registered corporate jet:
To get the JAA ATPL he would first need to be in possession of a JAA CPL and JAA CPL only,
that having a FAA CPL+ME+IR and the 14 JAA written papers cleared WILL NOT get him the JAA ATPL later on..
Have I missed something while going through the forum or is the captain mistaken?
3 or so years back when I got my FAA ME add on, my instructor was a Swede who had a FAA CPL+ME+IR and had just completed his JAA ATPL written papers who was instructing to build his 1500 hrs.
And I clearly remember his telling me that he had completed all his papers and now had to complete his checkride etc to be issued his JAA ATPL. He was not in possession of a JAA CPL.
Could someone who is going through the process at present give us a clarification please?
Cheers
