Im also looking into attending Bristol Ground school for ATPL theory upon completion of the CPL but im unsure as to what the requirements are to gain an ATPL if i was to have a CPL, Hope i havent been to confusing there, any other ideas as to how to gain an ATPL welcome, unfortunatly im one of the 99% of us who cant afford to pay a five-figure sum to go full time training! Many thanks Nathan    Report

The requirements are set out in JAR-FCL but there is a summery in LASORS (can be downloaded from the CAA web-site). The main difference between CPL and ATPL is the requirement to do a more extensive set of theory exams. You are then issued with a CPL after completing flight training and test. Getting the ATPL comes quite a while later after you have gained the IR and the necessary experience.    Report

Bear in mind that if you want the ATPL, no matter which route you take will cost a 5-figure sum! I think the rough list of things you'd need to do are: * ATPL groundschool & the (14?) exams * instrument rating * night rating * CPL * multi-engine rating * multi-crew cooperation (MCC) * 1500 hours flight time If you have all requirements done except for the flight time, you are said to have a 'frozen ATPL'. --rob Rob Desbois    Report
