Just curious if there is any truth behind this, apparently you can write your ATPL before 750hrs TT and its good until you meet the requirments to get signed off, not the standard 2 years? Any serious info greatly appreciated.
Thanks

From experience, and unless this has changed since Dec 2006, I had to prove to the exam invigilator that I had a minimum of 750 TT in order to write the ATPL exams.
If you have or receive a PPC on a 2-crew aircraft (certified min crew of 2) your exams are good for life.
However, if 2 years has passed since you wrote your exams, and you still have not aquired a PPC on 2-crew, either prior to or after the exams being written, the ATPL exams expire and you will need to re-write the exams.
Hope this helps.

just saw bater's post, maybe that's the new change !?

(4) To be eligible to write the examination required for the issue of a permit, licence or rating, the candidate shall provide proof that the experience and training requirements set out below have been met:
(e) an applicant for an Airline Transport Pilot Licence (Aeroplane) shall, when enrolled in an approved integrated ATP(A) course, have completed the ground school requirements and the Group 1 instrument rating flight test; and
(f) all other applicants shall have a minimum of fifty percent (50%) of the total flight experience for the issue of the permit, licence, or rating.
To be more precise, what does that mean? :
1) If you are under an ATPL integrated course, then you must have completed the ground school and the Group 1 instrument rating flight test. With no minimum flight time required?
2) You can pass the written ATPL exams with no flight time but you will only be issued your licence when 750hrs TT. So why is ther a 1500hrs limit for?
