Ive got a UK ATPL (H) with an IR and around 6000 hours.
Last year I decided to go fixedwing and completed a CPL (A) and IR course.
The problem was that when I did my writtens (7years ago) I only did them to CPL Level, being all that was required in those days for us helicopter boys.
The CAA inform me that to upgrade my CPL (A) IR to a usefull ATPL, I need to do ALL 14 BLOODY JAR EXAMS. (not just extra nav subjects)
I would not mind, but this is the same as a man off the street who has never flown anything!!!
IS this fair, cos I cant believe that it would make me a better pilot.
Has anybody got any dispensations yet??
