What is the ATPL Skill Test?
To “melt” your Frozen ATPL into a full ATPL(A), you must meet the following criteria:
- Be at least 21 years of age
- Hold an MPL or CPL(A) with MEP/IR and MCC
- Minimum 1500 hours of total flight time
- At least 500 hours in multi pilot operations on aeroplanes
- 500 hours as PIC under supervision or
- 250 hours as PIC or
- 250 hours including at least 70 hours as PIC, and the remaining PIC under supervision
- 200 hours of cross-countryflight time of which at least 100 hours shall be PIC or PICUS
- 75hours of instrument time of which not more than 30 hours may be instrument
ground time, and - 100 hours of night flight PIC or co-pilot.
- Of the 1500 hours of flight time, up to 100 hours of flight time may have been completed in an FFS or FNPT (only up to 25 hours).
Crediting:
- TMG or sailplanes: 30 hours flown as PIC
- For helicopters, 50% of all flight time requirements of the above.
- Flight engineer licence: up to maximum of 250 hours or 50%, which is less.
Once you meet these requirements, you’re eligible for the ATPL Skill Test, which is conducted on a Full Flight Simulator (FFS) with a certified TRE. Think of it as an enhanced version of a License Proficiency Check (LPC), specifically designed to assess your readiness for the responsibilities of a captain in a multi-crew airline environment.
Upon successful completion, your license status will change from “CPL with ATPL theory credit” to a full ATPL(A) — a major milestone in any professional pilot’s journey.
