Question Airline Pilot

Hello everybody , I'm a new member and young too and I would like to ask some questions about airline pilot and pilot training .
1) Which are the top 5 pilot aviations in Europe and USA ?
2) Which is the total amount for all the licences from ppl to atlp ?
3) It would be preferable all the licences to be from the same aviation ?

thank you for your interest !

ps Sorry for not speaking so good English.

Your best bet is to read here.

You'll find all the answers and some very good points. It'll take some time but most of the information will come in handy.

As for your licences ... there are 2 ways;

Modular

Private Pilots Licence
Commercial Pilots Licence
Frozen Airline Transport Pilots Licence (this will become an ATPL when you have 500hrs+ of Multi Crew time)

Integrated

Commercial Pilots Licence
Frozen Airline Transport Pilots Licence (this will become an ATPL when you have 500hrs+ of Multi Crew time)

There is a lot more to it than the above, for example you'll need a Night Rating before you can do your CPL. And you'll need an Instrument Rating before you get the fATPL, you'll also need a MEP Rating in order to fly multi engine AC.

Good luck.

Also the ATPL theory.

Also the ATPL theory.
Although not a licence in itself (unless you have a CPL & IR and strictly speaking an MCC I think) you'll need it for the fATPL.

So it's looking more like this (not including the ratings) :

Modular

Private Pilots Licence
ATPL theory (which covers CPL and IR theory in 14 exams)
Commercial Pilots Licence + I.R. = Frozen Airline Transport Pilots Licence

Good luck zotos.

AlphaMale,

I assume you are missing the "1" button on your keypad.

Surely the ATPL gets melted @ 1500hrs?!

500hrs+ of Multi Crew time

Well I assume that most pilots struggle to get the 500hrs of multi time under their belt. Plenty of instructors with over 2,000 hrs in the log book but lacking a ATPL due to not having 500+ hrs of multi crew time.

Just trying to give the guy the info without drowning him in numbers and licences without throwing section G1 of Lasors at him like many would do.

But yes, it's worth knowing that you'd need 1500TT and 500 hours Multi-Pilot operations on aeroplanes type certified in accordance with the JAR/FAR-25 transport category or the JAR/FAR-23 Commuter Category or equivalent code, or single-pilot aeroplanes operated by 2-pilots according to operational requirements.
