Atpl New Syllabus

Hello,

I have been searching the net for an answer to this and am hoping someone here can point me in the right direction.

I have already taken Air Law, HF&L, VFR & IFR comms on the old syllabus back in march 2011.

In Decemeber 2011 I took Met and OPS which I passed on the new syllabus because my training provider said I had to take these if I didn't want to retake them in March.

However, I am now slightly worried that the passes on the new syllabus have invalidated my passes on the old syllabus (because there was no mention of them on my pass letter from the CAA) Can you have a mixture of the two? My original 18 month period to complete everything began in March 2011 and should end august this year. Does anyone have any thoughts on whether I have messed up here?

Any thoughts or help would be fantastic. Thanks

There are four exams on the old syllabus (for fixed wing) that cannot be crossed over - otherwise they can be mixed. Nothing should be invalidated.

New and Old mix

From what my school told me: no you cannot mix new and old syllabus. You're school should have told you that you can take old syllabus exams up until the start of April.

Your school may have had their own set of rules that they didn't want any old syllabus exams but you should have been told. Could have been a simple mix up, I'd get onto your school about this.
This is not actually true. You can indeed mix the new and old apart from Airframes/Instrumentation/Radio Nav and Operational Procedures. If you took any of these, then unfortunately you would have to resit the new syllabus equivalents. Any of the other exams carry full credit and can even be taken up until the 30/03/2012. I am in the same positiona and only started in October. I actually felt a little let down as my prvider never gave me the option. If I had taken any of the defunct, I would have been really hacked off but fortunately not too much damage done but for some wasted revision time.

What is meant by "new syllabus"? Are this the EASA exams or still JAR exams?
