June 2002 (again)

[covec]

Am I in the "clear"?

UK ATPL (frozen) with Perf A (&E)

JAR CPL with JAR IR (Single Pilot Multi Engine)

Good luck to all.

covec, what on earth are you talking about.

[Pilot Pete]

Don't you need to unfreeze the ATPL? And to get a JAR one you need 500hrs multi crew don't you?

I'm talking about the impending June deadline for National licences.

As I understand it, so long as you have a National or JAR CPL/IR by June 2002 then your National ATPL credits are OK.

Apologies for any "furrowed brows".

Oh it all becomes clear now, thanks.

I received a letter from the CAA dated 27 March 2000.

The subject was "Arrangements to Issue a JAR-FCL CPL(A) Restricted to Use in UK Registered Aeroplanes". The paragraph titled "Upgrading to JAR-FCL ATPL(A)" made no mention of unfreezing or obtaining a JAR-FCL ATPL(A) by June 2002.

It did say "Pilots who have passed the UK ATPL(A) examinations and who hold a JAR-FCL CPL(A)(R) with Instrument Rating and a valid type rating on a multi-pilot aeroplane will be required to meet the following requirements for the issue of a JAR-FCL ATPL(A):

There then followed the usual unfreezing criteria i.e. 1500 hours total; 500 hours multi-pilot acft. etc etc

Nothing about "and shall be achieved by June 2002".

I surmise from this that with a JAR-FCL CPL(A)(R)/IR then your UK ATPL(A) credits are OK beyond June 2002 until, as you say, you unfreeze it.

Cheers.
