Validity theorical ATPL to obtain a CPL
Hello,
This is my situation: PPL(A)+ IR(A) + ATPL theorical passed more than 36 month.
I would like to get a CPL and some people tell me that my ATPL theorical isnīt valid, according to FCL025:
The successful completion of the theoretical knowledge examinations will be valid:
for the issue of a commercial pilot licence, instrument rating (IR) or en route
instrument rating (EIR), for a period of 36 months
But the FCL025 say also:
The completion of the airline transport pilot licence (ATPL) theoretical knowledge
examinations will remain valid for the issue of an ATPL for a period of 7 years from the last
validity date of:
(i) an IR entered in the licence
Being this my situation. An IR entered in the licence.
On the otherhand, FCL035 say:
An applicant having passed the theoretical knowledge examination for an airline transport
pilot licence shall be credited with the theoretical knowledge requirements for the light
aircraft pilot licence, the private pilot licence, the commercial pilot licence
So I think that I can use my theorical ATPL to be credited the theorical CPL althoug that 40 months ago that I passed the exams.
Is this correct?
