CPL/IR application
Am I reading this right!!!!??
If you have sat the full ATPL exams (17 exams as I remember back in 1998) and your applying for a CPL/IR licence, then your exempt all theoretical exams?

14 exams, actually - but if you have them all under your belt, it is true.
When did you take them, or are you planning to? You will be issued with a CPL until you get the rest of the experience required.

The ATPL's (up to amendment 2 or 3?) count indefinitely towards the issue of an ATPL(H) when the remainder of the experience requirements are met (IR for ATPL IR, night hours, multi-pilot hours etc) however if you don't get the IR within the 36 months you have to resit at least 4 exams in order to have the IR theoretical knowledge current prior to undertaking the IR practical course.
There is also a caveat about having maintained a current type on your CPL or something... the wording of which doesn't spring to mind.

Yes, still 36 months to do the IR. If you haven't done the IR then it's 4 exams, IFR Comms, IR Air Law, IR Flight Perf & Planning, and Radio Nav. This is certainly the case if you did the Amendment 3 Jar or before CPL exams, or ATPL exams........just make sure you have it in writing from the CAA as to what credits you have. If you let your license lapse for 7 years without a valid type on it then I'm pretty sure you will have to do all the exams again.

Thanks Paco,
When I sat the exams it was for initial issue for a ATPL(H) in 1998. I also managed to get a frozen ATPL(A) with IR taken in 2000 which I never used. As I will be required to fly nights (HEMS) so I need a IR(H). I been told (crewroom talk) that I need to sit five exams before starting a IR course. Any advise would be great!!
