froz. ATPL(A) Airline Transport Pilot License Theory
You can start with your ATPL(A) theoretical knowledge training any time. We do recommend to do it in following steps:
- PPL(A) (1)
- IR Instrument Rating (3)
- MEP(l) Multi Engine Piston Class Rating (4)
- CPL(A) (5)
- ATPL(A) Theory (2)
The disadvatage 1-5. is, that you will do the examiniations IR & CPL twice.... plus you have to add the costs for the courses.... So, many people go for this scenario in order to get the IR Rating earlier for their personal flying and time-building...In case you do it like (2) (3)... it will take you some time to get the last examination for the ATPL(A) Theory before you can start wit IR, MEP(L), CPL(A)...but prevents double exaaminations at NCAA...
