Modular route into the North Sea

B73, I agree in theory you don't need the credits for the MPH type (caused me a bit of puzzlement when I saw that!) but I guess from a practical viewpoint you don't want to be getting stuck into the books after a couple of years, to sit the ATPL exams, for the licence itself once you have the hours.

Edited to add, Dump the Pole, you will need the MCC for your first MPH type, regardless of licence or whether you are a captain or not.

Agreed, I assumed that this would be the first multicrew ME type anyway for B73.

Also, don't forget that the ATPL theory will expire after three years if you don't get your IR in this time. (Covered in other threads many times)

Thanks 212 and DTP,

I knew what the regs are... It just didn't sound like Fred did.

And thanks for the heads up re requirements, DTP. I've been telling newbies on multiple occasions on previous threads that you need the ATPLs if you want to be a multi-pilot captain (at some point in the future.) And it looks like that was a wrong assumption on your part - the quoted requirement wasn't for my benefit!

Have you got a LASORS or JAA FCL reference, Fred?

Actually I only looked at the JAR-FCL (Amendment 6, I know Lasors is slightly different, maybe Lasors 2008?) and instead of stating :

" c. i. for a VFR type rating have completed the
course and passed the examination in
accordance with JAR-FCL 2.160 (a) and (b);
or
ii. for a type rating including IR(H) privileges hold
a CPL(H) and IR(H) or meet the requirements
of JAR-FCL 2.285 and hold an IR(H)."

it only says :

"(3) meet the requirements of JAR-FCL
2.285 as applicable for ATPL(H)"
(ie Atpl theory)


And also it depends (once again!!) on the State issuing your licence.
Lasors is only for UK, some european countries have implemented the FCL2 in its latest version.
(I appreciate this doesn't apply to 99% of the readers of this thread)

OMG. There goes off another Amendment 6 'grenade'.

Sorry for doubting you, Fred. You obviously know the new regs far better than me!
