A quick reminder for those thinking about ATPL(A)s who are current on military ME multi-pilot aeroplanes (that doesn't mean 2-stick FJs, incidentally!), the maximum accreditation is available for those with 2000 hrs TT, of which 1500 must be on an approved ME type (e.g C130) following completion of the OCU. Of those 1500, not less than 1000 must be as PIC, the other 500 can be co-pilot P1 time (PIC U/S).
If you have all that, then all you need to do (and no,you do NOT need to do the FRTOL exams if you meet these accreditation criteria) is:
1. Get a JAA Class 1 medical
2. Pass ATPL Air Law
3. Have your next IR 'observed' by a civil IRE
4. Fill out the application form
5. Pay the dosh
6. Wait for thud of little green book on doormat!
I did! Incidentally, if you've already got a UK civil commercial licence and have completed the JAR-FCL 'assimilation of knowledge' requirements, you don't even need to take ATPL(A) Air Law!
