Does any one know if there is any equivalence in terms FHEQ system, in terms of PPL, CPL, ATPL, as I would say an ATPL is equivalent to FHEQ 6 (BSc or BA).
Yes, I do. There is none.

There used to be a Level 4 NVQ (with parity of esteem with a foundation degree) in piloting transport aircraft, with which I was closely involved, but it was almost universally and cynically misused as a vehicle for tax avoidance and was, consequently, withdrawn. As I recall, only one was ever issued, to a senior BA Captain on the sole basis of a portfolio of evidence with zero assessment. If nothing else, the exercise served to demonstrate the unbridgeable void between academic theory and the real world.
