Samra/Samron

[dash8pilot]

Hello All,

Can anyone tell me if you need to have a 'valid' IFR rating to write the Samra/Samron or do you only need the IFR to get your ATPL licence?

Also anyone know how long the Samra/Samron stay valid? (assuming you dont apply for the ATPL licence right away)

Thanks for the help..

Just wrote them a few months back, you have two years to get your ATPL signed off after writting them. As for the IFR, not to sure, when I wrote them the TC person just asked if I had 750 hours... Goodluck

So Im still confused do I need the IFR rating just to write the exam

No you do not need an IFR rating to write the exam. A friend of mine is not IFR rated and completed both exams.

[Colonel Sanders]

If you are enrolled in an approved integrated ATP(A) course, yes, you need a group 1 IFR.

Otherwise, no, you don't need a group 1 IFR.


However, as you point out, you will need a valid category one medical to write the exams. If you hold a CPL this should not be a problem for you.
