For someone with say 4-5k hours, offshore multi-crew time, who not only did the National CPL exams, then also had to do the 7 IR exams, would the requirement still be for all 5 exams? I'm pretty sure I went through instruments exam twice now, but nothing surprises me with the system anymore.
I guess to hold the frozen atpl(a) the hours requirement for fixed wing flying has to be completed too? Or would it be a different scenario if you were offered a co-pilot position with just a frozen atpl(a) ?
