How many retakes?

Does anyone know how many times you can retake the same subject for the ATPLS before the whole lot fall through and you have to retake all 14? I have done two retakes on a subject and I have done four sittings, I am currently in a remote location and time differences make contacting the Ivory tower difficult!

Cheers Flyboy

You are allowed 4 attempts at any one paper and all 14 exams have to be passed within 6 sittings if you don't want to start from scratch. You also have to complete all exams within 18 months of your first sitting. Hope this helps, Gaz.

Thumbs up

Hi

I did the atpls 5 years ago and I believe that you were allowed 4 attempts per subject but 6 sittings overall. Might be worth giving the CAA a shout just to doublecheck. Best of luck
