Do ATPL exams expire?
Importantly, the validity of ATPL theory exams for 7 years after expiration of IR only applies to the issue of ATPL (that is, when one already has a CPL). When ATPL theory exams are used for IR and CPL, you should obtain both IR and CPL within 3 years (FCL. 025(c)).
How long do you have to complete PPL exams?
18 months
You have 18 months in which to complete all nine exams from the end of the month that you have attempted your first exam, and once all exams have been completed, you then have 24 months from this date in which to successfully pass your PPL skills test.
What’s the difference between CPL and ATPL?
Thus, at the same price of the two programs, the CPL secures a student with more hours of practice. After a student successfully completes all the CPL training modules, including ATPL theory (yes, you got it right, ATPL), one becomes a holder of a commercial pilot licence with a so-called ‘frozen ATPL’.
Can you get a job with a frozen ATPL?
You can still get a job as an Airline Pilot if your EASA ATPL is ‘frozen’. Thanks to EASA regulations, many European airlines accept applications for Second and First Officer positions from flight training graduates, depending on your training record, the industry recruitment climate and airline flight operations.
How do you unfreeze ATPL?
In order to ‘unfreeze’ the ATPL, the candidate has to complete a flight time of 1500 hours subject to certain conditions: ATPL will remain frozen until you have reached 1500 hours of flying time, which is made up of the following criteria: 500 hrs multi-pilot in transport or commuter aircraft.
How many times can you fail your PPL exams?
If you fail the fourth attempt, you will be barred from making further attempts for a period of three months. All previous exam results are rendered void.
What is the pass rate for PPL exams?
75%
The pass mark for all PPL examinations is 75%. If you fail an exam you will need to undertake further training at your training organisation and how much re-training you will need will be at their discretion.
