Jaa Atpl
I would like some advice....
I have done the 14 atpl exams and the instrument rating to date, and I am going to do the cpl flight test soon, what my question is, how does one 'un-freeze' the atpl.
I believe it was just a case of reaching the hour requirements, which I have, but now I understand one must do an ATPL flight test in a 2 crew aircraft.
Is this correct, and if so, how does someone like myself who is employed outside the UK already do this without having a job with an airline in the UK.
Is it a case that I must rent a 2 crew aircraft myself and do the flight test.
Basically, is the only way to un-freeze the ATPL by having an airline job and doubling up the type rating with the ATPL flight test, or is there another way?
Many thanks...

Why do it if it's not fun?

I understand that, but spoke to the caa and they recognise the Beech 1900 as a 2 crew aircraft for which i have over 500 hours on...so to my knowledge i meet all the requirements....
correct me if i am wrong....

According to LASORs G1.1
The 500 multi-pilot operations must be on aircraft certificated in accordance with JAR/FAR-25 Transport Category or JAR/FAR-23 Commuter Category.
If your Beech 1900 fits into either category then I reckon your okay, but you should clarify this IN WRITING with our friends at the CAA.

thanks for the email fellow luanda crime fighter...
so it would seem the only way to get the atp unfrozen is to get a job in europe....
anyway, i am still flying in algeria on the 1900's and seems that one of your luanda mates from finland will be helping us out up there for a while before joining mk in the new year.
otherwise, not too much happening this side.
are you in with the big easy now, thats what i heard, and what do you think my chances would be in getting in with them?
a friend of mine just got in with 'b'ryan air and he says the low cost airlines are not the greatest.
take it easy....
