I'm doing my CPL(H) with ATPL(H) theory. Thinking about getting my fixed wing licence when I finish next month.
I've been told by the CAA that to convert my ATPL(H) theory to ATPL(A) theory I'll only have to sit POF, Performance and Aircraft Gen to get the ATPL(A) theory completed (until they come up with the proper bridging exams - whenever that will be).
However, the helicopter exams are a bit up in the air (this is the first year of JAA for helis) so there isn't much in the way of a syllabus for Mass and Balance, Flight Planning and Ops Procedures for helicopters. M&B is currently the old UK Loading paper and we don't even know yet what the syllabus is for the other two with just 4 weeks before the exams.
Does anyone think doing these subjects for ATPL(A) (voluntarily!)would be useful or should I just sit the three I have to sit?
Thanks,
Barry
