Hey
Hope Im not repeating questions already asked, I did seek but could not find.
I am presently living and working in Canada. I hold a Canadian ATPL with excess of 3700hrs of which over 2000hrs is on multi crew turbine.
I am wanting to convert my Canadian ATP to a JAA ATP. To prepare for the exams I am going to puchase the Jeppesen course books. My understanding is that I am not required to complete the TRTO course or undergo the approved training, prior to writing the ATP exams and the skills test. This is providing that I complete the skills test in a multi pilot aircraft that I am type rated on and have at least 500hrs experience.
Heres where I get a little confused:
How do most people complete their ATPL skills test..., do they normally do it through the company they work for when they do their Pilot Proficiency Check..., is this even possible...
What if I go over to the EU, write my exams and then am unable to complete the skills test in the aircraft I am expecting to be able to. Must I then attend the approved courses...
I downloaded the JAA ATPL exam time table for the UK. Is there any place in the EU where they conduct the exams on a more regular basis...
If you have any answers to the above questions they would be greatly appreciated or if you see any flaws to my plan, please tell me.
Thankyou in advance.
