G'day all. I am currently training in Australia from Zero to ATPL (CASA). Upon completion I am looking at returning to the UK as I was born there and am a national. Because I will be under 21, my ATPL will be frozen, but when I go to convert will I need to convert my CPL or the ATPL only. According to the CAA website, I only need to worry about the ATPL, then obtain MCC, new medical etc. Is this true or are there other things to worry about?
Cheers

If you have done all your traing in AUS and completed the ATPL exams, unless you have quite a bit of jet time up your sleeve your going to have to do the JAA ATPL's which take 6 months at least.

Are you planning on meeting all the requirements for the AUS ATPL apart from the age? eg 1500 hour mark ?

Because if not you will really just have a AUS CPL with the ATPL theory exams completed.
