Advisory circular AC-61-7 under the following link Advisory Circulars has all the details outlining the NZ ATPL. The following is copied from Page 4 "Foreign ATPL"
Foreign ATPL
A current ATPL issued by an ICAO Contracting State may be accepted as the basis for meeting the
eligibility requirements under rule 61.253 for the issue of a NZ ATPL.
For this to occur the following applies:
• The foreign pilot licence holder must meet flight experience equivalent to that required
under rule 61.253(a)(4) as detailed in Appendix I of this Advisory Circular. Normally a
current foreign ATPL meets this requirement.
• A current foreign ATPL will normally be accepted as meeting all written examination
passes for rule 61.253a)(5)( except for air law, if the applicant also produces evidence of
Advisory Circular AC61-7 Revision 11
05 October 2009 5 CAA of NZ
having completed at least 500 hours as pilot-in-command or 1000 hours as co-pilot. This
flight time must have been attained in countries under the jurisdiction of the foreign
authority that issued the ATPL:
- in multi-engine, multi-crew aircraft; and
- on commercial IFR multi-crew operations; and
- after the issue of the respective foreign ATPL that has been presented for this
purpose.
NOTE: A foreign ATPL holder who does not meet the post licence issue requirements as
detailed is required to gain credits for all written examinations in accordance with rule
61.253(a)(5).
• The foreign ATPL holder is required to pass a NZ ATPL issue flight test in accordance
with rule 61.253(a)(6).
Further detailed information relating to this process is available on the CAA web site
Civil Aviation Authority of New Zealand
I hope this helps.
