ATPL Exams under Polish CAA
 

Hello everyone,

I'm planning to sit exams in Poland and I was trying to find official Exam timetables in their CAA website but the last one you can find there is from 2013 and it's a broken link.

Anyone who did it lately can explain me how is the process for booking the exams, like, if there is a limit of applicants for every month or requirements to book in advance (I mean, if there is a chance of not being able to sit exams in certain month because it's full or not), where can I find this timetable if it does exist?

I would like to do my initial Class 1 Medical in Warsaw in my first trip to the country. Anyone suggestion where to do it and how much it would coast will be much appreciated!

Thanks!

You don't need to book in advance. Every month a session is held for around 9 days and you can go there without booking. You just need to register in the morning and tell the ladies at the entrance what exams you want to take.
As for the medical, I did mine at the military aeromedical center and you don't need to book it either, you just need to be there around 7/8 in the morning to register and you'll have your certificate around 2 in the afternoon.

Military Institute of Aviation Medicine

But if you like to be sure your place is guaranteed you can easily book in advance.
Once you file your application for exams you'll get your login credentials to the online booking system.
Easy peasy, lemon squeezy.

I emailed them and the timetable for 2018 is coming out only in November. They sent me the 2017's timetable though. I noticed that the test week is starting usually in the first Tuesday of each month, unless the month starts on Monday or Tuesday.

Can I do as many test as I want in a day as long as I have time to do it by just going there then?

Thanks for all the information. This military aeromedical center was the only good result I had found in my research, now with your recommendation it seems like a really good idea. :ok:

It's never a bad idea to book in advance, specially when you are flying from another side of the planet to get there. Thanks for the advise. ;)

Yes. When you come there the day X, you tell ladies which subjects you will do and then go for it. You can do one subject and exit for rest/eat/drink and then go for next one.
In 2016 exams were from Tuesday till Thursday of next week but next Friday is also possible with prior confirmation (only last Friday need the confirmation, other days don't require it but just login/password as for any subject any day)

I did my class 1 in LuxMed (only one medical center located somewhere between Chopin Airport and ULC). Administratif staff speaks english but not doctors so it was a test with "hand-speaking". I got my certificate at around 13h30. But LuxMed requires prior booking

Got it,
Just one last question. For General Navigation, or any other subject that could require additional material like charts, do they provide whatever you are required to have to do the test or should I buy and bring something with me? I ask it because in UK CAA there are some Jeppensen manual that is used in the test, and in my WBT even some questions require them to plot and measure some stuff but I don't have any printed material.
and another option to consider for the Class 1, I appreciate :ok:

You cannot bring your own charts or any kind of paper. Only calculator is allowed but not a complex programmable one
For charts, most frequently used charts are preprinted and available but if not, you write down chart number you have in your question and give it to ladies for printing. In 1-2 minutes one of them will bring you printed chart (except there was at least one question requiring full format jepessen chart and ladies will also provide it).
You can choose first subject that doesn't require any chart and you will see how other guys asks for charts
All you need is yout ID. Paper, pen, calculator, plotting stuff, computers - everything is available there (but if you want to use your computer and calculator - you are allowed)

Is ULC making changes to their current question Bank?

Good to know that I can use even their computer! So I won't need to break the windarm of my CRP5 to calculate average winds if I find questions of that kind haha!
Thanks!

Hi guys,

Where could i find the timetable with the scheduled days for the exams (2018) ?
Any suggestion?

Actually I was on my PPL theory in October this year, I saw people with Casio's FX series calcs entering, so scientific one is allowed.

subscribe different sessions.

On the website, I saw the planning, all slots already booked when I planned to come at Warsaw ( In 3 weeks). Someone know if I can go directly to exam center and see if a place is free for sitting my exams or it's too late?

thanks a lot

Thanks a lot for informations Veltro :ok:

Hi Guys,
Is there an advantage (or disadvantage) to sit the Exams in Poland? Are they easier?

I believe its exactly the same ECQB question bank everywhere since its EASA that is giving it to the test centers. And its based on your luck if you get the 10 % new and 10 % changed questions or if you get for example 5 % or 30 % unknown questions.

Hi guys
I have class 1 uk medical and if i do my atpl in poland.do i need to do my medical again in Poland??
Also how is the exams in Poland,Easier or Harder then UK....
How does the sitting work in poland, any ideas???

anyone recently tooked exam in poland , can feed us with some experience , and feedback , and wish question bank is almost close to the questions .
tks

Mani20096, no you don't need to pass class 1 again for 14 ATPL exams. Just do your exams there and you will have a certificate for CPL/IR practical so you could go to UK or stay in Poland or choose third country for practical training
If you mean ATPL integrated - you will need FE approved by UK if you wish to have UK licence

About difficulty of exams - I finished mine more than 1 year ago. It was not easy nor very difficult. But I didn't try UK exams so not able to compare
I know that now there are some open answer questions but its not very difficult. And question bank like aviationexam helped me a lot (but it is not perfect QB)

Hi,

thanks Jadair,
does anyone know of the exam costs in the Czech Republic ?

thanks

I have heard from an ATO in Poland that from September this year the Polish CAA will switch fo a new database and therefore with open queations. Anyone has more info on this?

I've heard there were already some open questions some months ago but these questions are not difficult

Open questions? Are you referring to the quadrant questions they introduced in the UK? Where did you hear they were introducing that in Poland?

Ah, I understood open questions as open-ended questions which I assumed to be quadrant.

How are the exams in the Netherlands and Belgium?

Windows Calculator
 

Hi guys,

About to take my first atpl exam soon at Polish CAA. From my PPL, I remember that we are allowed to use computer's calculator (Windows Calculator basically). This calculator has couple of mods including temperature & miles to ft conversions. My question is, can we use these mods or we are only allowed to use standard mode for +-/* ?

Cheers.
