Hello!
I'm in the middle of my ATPL theoretical (modular). There are two things that remain unclear to me. I was hoping some of you could clarify this a bit.
1) ATPL Checkride (?)
Is there one? there certainly seems to be one.
So if so, when does it happen? Let's I assume I pass the theory, CPL, IR, ME & MCC. I have 250h (or just under) of flight time. I have done the modules at different schools.
I'm not an official fATPL, right? Can someone please explain to me what is meant to happen next?
Do I have to book a checkride on a ME aircraft/simulator with an examiner who will test all the necessary skills to be an ATP?
2) Logbook across borders
I have a French JAA logbook. Nice and blue and...most of the entries are written in french. Not only that, but I was never taught during my PPL to note down the number of take offs and landings I've done in each flight.
Is this a problem? Should I start now? Should I buy a new logbook and have it resigned by the instructors that taught me my PPL?
I have means (very troublesome, but they're there) to find out how many take offs and landings I've done overall.
My mind is buzzing buzzing buzzing.
Thanks a lot guys.
Happy flying
