Stand by, a more careful reading on the regs on my part might be in order. Depends on interpretation. Its too late right now.

Some CARS cut and paste isssues here on this forum.

I got my first type rating 18 months after writing the ATPL tests. I got my ATPL Licence 2 years after getting my type rating. I had to use PIC U/S as well.
So in essence. If you believe you will get a type rating >12500 within the next 2 years, write the ATPL tests. Then you can take as long as you want to get your ATPL with no need for a re-write.
Hope this helps.
Cheers

stuckmike .. Thanks
I already have a >12,500 Type Rating on my license so i should be in the clear to write the exams, and say in 30 months apply for the ATPL once i have completed the time requirements also using PIC Under supervision, and not have to re-write the exams.
