Study material for ICAO to CASA ATPL conversion
Hey everyone,
I'm brand new on this forum. I joined it because I wanted to ask for some advice regarding the study material for the "CASA ATPL conversion". I currently hold a Canadian ATPL and fly the DH8 (F/O) for a Canadian carrier. Although I love Canada and I have a great career here, I have family in Australia and I'd like to move closer to them. I'm looking to eventually get a job with Qantaslink, on the same aircraft I currently fly. I have a few questions: 1. What books do you recommend for the ATPL Human Factors (AHUF) exam and the ATPL Overseas conversion (AOSA)? Also, where can I purchase them? How much are the books / study notes? I can either have my sister pick them up in Brisbane or have it shipped to her there and then she can ship it to me in Canada. 2. How much does it cost to write each exam? 3. Where can one write them in the Brisbane area? Thanks a bunch in advance, and if any of you fancy changing countries (aka, coming to fly in Canada), send me a message with any questions you may have about the industry here. I'd be more than happy to return the favor. Cheers Vio |
Hi Vio,
Did you dig any info on your question? I would be interested as well if you have. Thanks. |
Looking for some help here too |

Thanks for that Its a bit confusing, I dont understand what the MCC is for But i guess should be able to ask them Thank you |
Pretty sure Qlink turbo prop require that you have done all 7 ATPL exams to be eligible for employment. No converted ATPL allowed.

From the QLink website: Hold an Australian Air Transport Pilot (Aeroplane/ Helicopter) Licence, or Australian Commercial Pilot (Aeroplane/Helicopter) Licence and have passed all ATPL subjects. |

Some pilots were trying to bypass the Australian ATPL exams by obtaining a foreign ATPL and then converting it to an Aussie ATPL. I recall the major Australian airlines then required you to sit all the Aussie ATPL exams if your Australian ATPL was as a result of a foreign conversion. I think that particular problem has gone away under the Part 61 rules. |
Oh wow, that explains it. |
It dose not make sense because thats not what is mentioned in the books and the website of casa as how to convert ATPL to CASA
it mention only couple of exams plus some flights test maybe what you saying is the major airlines they require that yes but not the authority make it clear

How did you go? How was the exam and did you need all the materials they've highlighted on their website? it sounds as potentially more a law exam than a Met one so i don't see the need in all the maps?
Cheers, Skip, The AOSA exam is mainly a law exam, but incorporates Operational Meteorology so some overlap there with regards to forecasts, etc. Ordered all the study material from AFT in Maroochydore and only bought myself a copy of the AIP, ERSA (hardly used) and AUS PCA for exam purposes. Hope it's enough as I'm told that the others are rarely used, so going to take my chances. I have the AOSA exam in 2 weeks, so will let you know, though not going to bother buying all the charts and DAPs, etc. |
Just memories this document and you will be right ....
