Frozen vs Full ATPL
Hi there
Quick question regarding licences in EASA land. I have a CPL issued by a member state of EASA and all the hours needed for a full ATPL. I canīt get a full ATPL in my licence state until i reach command of the aircraft type I fly. That is still a few years away and I am looking at other opportunities overseas where a full ATPL is needed.
My question is: Is it possible to convert my licence to (for example) the UK, and then automatically *thaw* my licence and attain an ATPL, or is a flight test etc needed? I did my 14 ATPL theory exams and my initial medical at Gatwick, not sure if this helps?
Thanks!
