Jaa Atpl(h)
Does anyone have anymore information about the forthcoming changes to the JAA ATPL(H) syllabus?
What will the changes be, and will it apply only to people registering after the changes occur, or to everyone, regardless of when they started (ie those wanting to convert an ATPL(A) by sitting additional exams).
Any info much appreciated

Hi,
I'm doing an integrated ATPL(H) in Florida (HAI). The CAA just wrote back to me and told me that the bridging exams to an ATPL(A) are not done yet but if I do (Aeroplanes) POF, PERF and ENG, that's all the theory exams I need before Dec 2002.
Don't know about the other way around but Helicopter specific exams exist for:
POF
and are planned for:
Instruments,
Performance,
Ops Procs,
Flight Planning
The best way to get both is to goto Oxford or Cabbair for an ATPL(H) course - they've got approvals to issue an ATPL(H) by teaching a majority of their fw subjects for now but that will change when the heli specific exams come out. Then you'll only have to do Heli POF to have both.

The latest proposals for the transition are in draft form at the moment, I imagine they will be published soon.
The CAA are currently operating an 'interim procedure' because they don't have proper JAA helicopter exams yet. This involves sitting fixed wing ATPL papers in all subjects except P of F and Performance and a special CAA/JAA rotary P of F paper.
They now expect the new style exams to be available from 2003 and will require new courses sold after a particular point, probably towards the end of the year, to comply with a syllabus that contains more helicopter stuff in subjects yet to be specified. Those that start a course before the changeover point will be allowed plenty of time to finish on the interim procedure.
The dates for the introduction of the helicopter exams have already been moved forward several times so they may be moved again.
