ATPL(H) credits CPL H + IR
Hi everybody, I'm trying to find out if somebody had credits from the CAA for taking the ATPL H holding an old JAR-FCL CPL amendment 3 license and an EASA IR rating issued in 2013.
I'll attached the answer I got from the licensing department but I believe I'm on the right side.
If anybody can help me out
However, it is our opinion that, if you have a CPL(H) issued under JAR FCL Amendment 3, that is the equivalent of the ATPL(H)(VFR) in terms of theoretical knowledge - paragraph 2.050(b)(10) refers. This credit was carried over into Part FCL. In addition, Article 4(1) of Commission Regulation (EU) 1178/2011 refers to JAR compliant licences being deemed to be Part FCL licences. The legal definition of "JAR Compliant" licence is in Article 2, which refers to licences, ratings, certificates, authorisations and other qualifications issued or recognised by a State, reflecting "JAR and procedures". We interpret this to include ATPL(H) TK credit.
Although JAR-FCL 2 at amendment 6 did state at ‘JAR–FCL 2.050 (b) (10) The holder of a CPL(H) gained under previous amendments of JAR-FCL 2 up to and including Amendment 3 is credited with the theoretical knowledge requirements for ATPL(H).’ The UK CAA did not implement this part of JAR-FCL 2 at amendment 6. Therefore you will be required to complete the ATPL/IR(H) exams if you wish to gain a ATPL/IR (H), credits towards the ATPL/IR(H)
