Ok, so since everybody love splitting hairs on these forums.
CPL + IR theory is ATPL theory.
There is no separate IR theory.
ATPL is not a licence.
There is no frozen ATPL licence.
And there is still snow and frozen in Norway.
ATPL theory is the theory you need to complete before you start your CPL and IR training.
You could do just CPL theory, this is 9 exams, but a VFR CPL is not very useful, you can only work as FI with that, not much other work available, ok you also need to complete a FIC. (flight instructor course)
You see Cefey how much time we lazy unemployed pilots have, since we keep posting on these forums. Besides the fact that this week I have sent out abou 75 applications and cv's for work that I am mostly not qualified for.
Please Ryanair, email me soon!
