Hi,

This is exactly what im confused about. The flight school stated above:

Step 4: Take ATP Practical Test.
ATP practical test can be done on simulator (like A320, B737) or light multi-engine aircraft - you will need either FAA CPL IR ME license or Letter of Verification for this step for the check ride.

Because I do not have a CPL IR ME, the first option is out. 2nd option would be the LoV, which is also out because there’s no CPL IR ME to verify from another CAA. I would only have an MPL.

Now it begs the question, would I have to do my CPL IR ME BEFORE undertaking the ATP-CTP course / ATP checkride (would be a painful process haha)? Or simply get a PPL and fly some PIC first?
