ATPL time frame

[robbinson]

Hi guys,
Sorry if this has been discussed earlier but I'm just wondering if there is a time frame in which I need to accumulate the correct flying hours for the issue of an Australian ATPL after the completion of the exams. I'm in Africa at the moment holding a frozen ATPL and I'm not sure how long I have. Any information would be greatly appreciated.

Once you have a Frozen ATPL it is valid forever until you gain the required flight hours to apply for the actual ATPL licence. Personally I would not delay filling out the the paper work once you have the required hours because you never know what :mad: CASA does. They are constantly changing their rules so they may in the future put a time frame on it to make things difficult for pilots. :ugh: For the time being all is good :ok:
