Why don't they just clearly write a new damned amendment and adopt the entire amendment instead of writing amendments to admendmants??!!!

Am I being naive here?

SL..

Scrumpy,

Welcome to aviation and your new buddies the CAA:rolleyes:

So just to clarify now with an example as having read these, I am feeling a bit slow..

I complete my JAA CPL(H) and go on to do my JAA IR..
I then; for examples sake, get a job as a CoJo offshore...
I some how manage to get the PIC hours and finally comply with all of the prereqs to get my ATPL....
At this point, do I now have to do all of those exams I had taken for IR again?:eek:

SL

PS.. Sorry if I sound like I am slow on the take up here...

SL,

If you'd taken the ATPL exams in the first place, no.

But if you had taken the CPL exams, followed by the IR exams then, yes.


So the moral of the story is: take the ATPL exams then make sure that you get your IR within 36 months of your last exam.


Still clear as mud, isn't it? :ok:

Bravo73.. That is clear.. for the CAA.. Quite refereshing really... Thanks.:D

K, so to clarify, I can take my ATPL exams in place of my CPL exams? :ooh:

I will get in touch HAI and find out if they do that? Do the 2 exam sets compliment each other? Are there any similarities or is ATPL level leagues above CPL level?

Thought I had the whole plan off pat now but nope.. lol..

SL

Yep.

I've got a feeling that HAI only do the ATPL exams. (Most of 'us' took the ATPLs anyway.)

The ATPL isn't 'leagues above' the CPLs. The content matter for certain subjects is just slightly more 'global' ie global climatology, global navigation. This is because the ATPL syllabus is essentially aimed at wannabe B737 pilots; the CPL syllabus is aimed at SEP people and the IR syllabus is more aimed at MEP pilots. Now, whether or not any of this has any relevance to us helicopter pilots, well that's a whole 'nother kettle of fish (which has already been debated ad infinitum.) Like it or not, we've got to live with it...

But if you ever intend to be the captain of a multi-pilot public transport aircraft (ie a North Sea captain) then you'll need to pass the ATPL exams at some point.
