UK ATPL to JAA licence. How?

[ratbag]

I have a UK ATPLA and have been told that it would be advantageous to convert it to a JAA, (not JAR) licence.

Anybody know how to do it?

Thanks

Have a look at the CAA website: it has all the details and you can download the relevant form, which I think is JAR FCL 680.

When your licence is renewed I think that it will be renewed as a JAR ATPL as a matter of course.

The CAA told me I needed to have 500 Multi-Crew hours, also to sign a bit of paper saying I had read JAR Op's !!!

As we are on the licence topic, could someone answer this question?

When someone gains a JAR Frozen ATPL, what has to be accomplished for the Frozen Licence to be converted into a full ATPL?

Cheers

Ratbag, there is no such thing as a 'JAR' licence so you would be getting a 'JAA' licence anyway.

To qualify for a JAA ATPL on the conversion from a CAA ATPL is as follows.

1500+hrs P1 multi crew experience - no further requirement.

500+hrs P1 multi crew experience - pass JAR exams in performance and flight planning, however those who have passed these exams at CAA ATPL level (including Perf A), will be exempt these requirements.

I believe the P1 requirement has now been relaxed to include any operating capacity. Also, the multi crew experience used to have to be JAR25 aircraft, this has also been relaxed to include any aircraft which is required to be flown multi crew by the national authority of the country of registration/operation.

So, in a nutshell, the minimum required to convert is 500+hrs multi crew experience.

By the way, UK CAA ATPL's will still be available for renewals indefinetly.
