How long can I take to convert frozen CAA ATPL?
I have a frozen UK CAA ATPL. I am fortunate enough to be flying a turboprop in New Zealand (on a NZ licence) and so now have the hour requirements to gain a CAA/JAR ATPL.
Some questions:
Will I need to renew my UK IR in order to be issued with a CAA/JAR ATPL? My New Zealand IR and Class 1 are current but I am expecting to have to renew my JAR class 1 medical.
Would I get a CAA ATPL or a JAR ATPL?
How long do I have before my UK exam credits expire?
Any help much appreciated. I've emailed UK CAA some months ago, am awaiting a prompt reply.

If you want a UK ATPL you have until 30 June 2002 to apply. You will need a valid medical and a current M/E JAA/UK aircraft rating but I don't think the IR needs to be current so long as it is not more than 5 years out of date, in which case you would have to do another initial IR Test anyway.
If you want a JAA ATPL you will need the 500 hours MPA a valid medical and a current multi-pilot aircraft rating JAA/UK this would include IR validity.
The validity of your ATPL exams for a JAA licence is for ever so long as you maintain the CPL and do not let the IR lapse by a period of 7 years or more.
Best Tip, get a UK ATPL by June this year.

It is not necessary to hold a current IR for UK ATPL issue. However, the licence privileges will be restricted to those of a CPL until the rating is renewed.
