tocum:
I am a Non Australian resident and obtained my first licence CPL/IR - CASA with fATPL
What is a fATPL?
If you are referring to "Frozen" when prefixing the ATPL with "f" then you are incorrect and/or misled.
There is no such qualification as a "Frozen Air Transport Pilot License" - this term has crept into the industry with Europe and the P2F cancer and when the fully integrated CPL/MEIR course was approved by CASA. It was trumpeted by the flying schools (including those in Europe) offering this course as the qualification you gained upon completion.
The qualification is: CPL/MEIR with ATPL subjects passed.
Is there a way to ask any exemption to the new CASA regulation and conduct the flying component of the CASA ATPL flight test on my next Dash 8 recurrency?
CASA has a CAAP that deals with checking and recurrency, conducted outside of Australia, for the purpose of maintaining Australian (CASA) License currency/qualifications . In short, it is an even more expensive option.
A far less onerous option would be to gain a FAA ATP Certificate. However, there has been a tightening up of the requirements for a direct issue of the ATP Certificate.
Best of luck on the Saffa ATP.
