to unfreeze ATPL
Hi,
I have searched the forums and looked into Lasors but couldn't find a satisfactory answer to my question therefore before I call CAA, I have decided to ask my question here since there are very experienced and knowledgeable people around.
I am currently holding a JAR CPL-IR with ATPL theory and MCC certificate. My experience is over 2000 TT; 1200 hours of which is on multi crew airplanes B-707. I have no current multi crew airplane type rating in my commercial license.
1. Can I unfreeze my ATPL without a type rating?
2. If I do a type rating course lets say B-737 can I apply to unfreeze my ATPL when I finish the course?
Thank you very much for your time

Tayyareci,
All the answers are in section G of LASORS; however, briefly, it is the Captain's rating that gives you the ATPL - a co-pilot rating is not sufficient in itself. From the bottom-right of page 294 of that document:
Aside from that, there are a large number of other requirements, such as PIC time, cross-country time (some of which must be as PIC), night time, instrument time and so on, which I suspect you have probably already met, but you should check anyway.

Sounds like the only requirement you need to meet is the JAR ATPL 'skills test'. This needs to be undertaken in an approved multi-crew aircraft (sim) with a CAA TRE. The LST needed at the end of a type conversion course would cover this and then you will be able to apply for your ATPL.
