Hi all,
I'm a QMP(H) but back in 2008 when I was thinking of leaving the military I had insufficient hours for the bridging package. As a result, I completed all 13 exams and was issued a JAA CPL(H) with ATPL(H) Theory Credit aka a frozen ATPL(H). At that time, as a QSP in current flying practice, I had 36 months from my last flight in a military helicopter in which to get an IR(H) and bank the ATPL(H) theory.
Does this now mean that overnight with the publication of CAP 804, I have gone from having 36 months from my last flight in a military helicopter, to being over a year 'out of date'?
Will it make a difference that I didn't "bridge" but instead did all the exams?
Surely there must be some form of transition period to give those with ATPL(H) Theory Credit based on exams taken over 36 months ago the chance to add an IR(H) and bank that theory credit?
I don't really fancy having to take half the exams again (not to mention the cost of doing so) just because the rules have arbitrarily been changed...
Any thoughts?
