by doing the single engine ir would get you another 7 years validity for the atpl
exams, but in my situation i have a valid cpl license but I never renewed my ir and i have passed the 7 year mark.if I had known it i would have done it. I rang the Iaa here in Ireland, I was told I would have to do all 14 exams and redo the ir course to pass a skill test if I was to go on to exercise the privileges of a frozen atpl despite having a valid cpl.
I have a UK license but live in ireland
I was told by just doing the ir exams , yes it will give me a valid ir, but I wouldn't be able to apply for an airline job because it's not a frozen atpl. I could use to fly a single pilot plane in Ir conditions.
I have emailed the UK caa twice to see would doing ir exams only and skills test renew my ir so I could apply for airlines, yet no reply.
I think the UK position under jar or jaa was the same as ireland but has it changed under Easa?
