38-543: A CPL and IR are achieved, ATPL examination results are accepted for seven years after the most recent validity date of the IR entered in the CPL. ATPL exams are acceptable for the issue of a CPL, so most pilots skip the CPL exams and take their ATPL exams before they obtain their CPL. A CPL held by a pilot who has completed all ATPL theoretical exams is popularly known as a "frozen ATPL", although this term has no legal significance. After

57-413: A CPL holder may only act as pilot in command of single-pilot aircraft or as co-pilot of multi-pilot aircraft. Commercial air transport is defined as "the transport of passengers, cargo or mail for remuneration or hire". To act as pilot in command of a multi-pilot aircraft, the pilot must hold an ATPL. Like PPLs and CPLs, ATPLs do not expire. However, a pilot must hold a valid medical certificate and

76-514: A CPL skill test and other requirements. For aeroplanes, the applicant must have 1500 hours as a pilot of airplanes, including 500 hours in multi-pilot operations on airplanes, and a minimum number of hours as pilot in command (PIC) and/or pilot in command under supervision (PICUS). There are minimum hour requirements for cross-country flight , instrument flight , and night flight . Time as pilot of helicopters, sailplanes and touring motor gliders may be partially cross-credited. For helicopters,

95-592: A pilot in commercial air transport operations (from age 70 for balloons and sailplanes). The EASA ATPL requires candidates to pass fourteen separate theoretical exams, with a six-month residential or twelve-month distance-learning course mandatory during this phase. In EASA states and the United Kingdom, the 14 theoretical subjects included in the examination of ATPL applicants are: All exams must be passed within an 18-month period. A CPL and/or Instrument Rating must then be gained within 36 months. Provided that

114-431: A suitably qualified full flight simulator . The minimum age to gain an ATPL is 21 years, and holders must have a Class 1 medical certificate. There are separate ATPL licences for aeroplanes and helicopters. From the age of 60-64, pilots may only act as part of a multi-pilot crew in commercial air transport operations, however they may continue to act as Pilot In Command. From the age of 65, they may no longer act as

133-681: Is provided through a simulator system called "control loading", and other systems such as avionics, communications and "glass cockpit" displays are also simulated. This standard of simulator is used both for initial and recurrent training for commercial air transport (CAT) aircraft. Initial training is for conversion to a new aircraft type, and recurrent training is that which all commercial pilots must carry out at regular intervals (such as every six months) in order to retain their qualification to fly "fare-paying passengers" in CAT aircraft, loosely "airliners". A Level D/Type 7 FFS also provides motion feedback to

152-418: Is published under ICAO document 9625 Issue 3. The new Type 7 Full Flight Simulator will be the old Level D with enhancements in a number of areas including motion, visual and Communications/air traffic simulations. A Level D/Type 7 simulator simulates all aircraft systems that are accessible from the flight deck and are critical to training. For instance, accurate force feedback for the pilot's flight controls

171-403: The cross-cockpit collimated display concept, in which the computer-generated out-the-window view is projected on the back of a translucent screen. The image that forms on the other side is then reflected by a curved mirror that extends around the entire cockpit, providing a field of view that can reach 200° horizontally and 40° vertically. The collimating design of the mirror gives the occupants

190-508: The Federal Aviation Administration's (FAA) ATP practical test, the candidate must have at least 1500 hours of experience in aircraft, including 250 hours as a pilot-in-command (PIC), and be at least 23-years-old. Restricted Licenses (which allow the holder to perform only second-in-command duties) may be granted to individuals that meet one of the following criteria: The pilot can remove the restriction once they have achieved

209-407: The United Kingdom, pilots must hold an ATPL before they can be pilot in command of a multi-pilot aircraft flown for commercial air transport operations. Any pilot operating an aircraft for money must start by obtaining a commercial pilot license (CPL). This permits the pilot to carry out aerial work , such as crop spraying or banner towing. However, in commercial air transport (CAT) operations,

228-741: The United States do not expire, pilots must undergo periodic flight reviews to ensure they are safe to operate aircraft. Full flight simulator Full flight simulator ( FFS ) is a term used by national (civil) aviation authorities (NAA) for a high technical level of flight simulator . Such authorities include the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) in the United States and the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA). There are currently four levels of full flight simulator, levels A through D, with level D being

247-430: The applicant must have 1000 hours as a pilot of helicopters, as well as other hour requirements. Time as a pilot of aeroplanes may be cross-credited up to 50%. The applicant must pass a skill test, demonstrating their ability to perform procedures and manoeuvres, as PIC of a multi-pilot airplane under IFR. The applicant must hold a type rating for the aircraft used in the skill test. The skill test may be carried out in

266-499: The appropriate class rating , type rating and/or instrument rating for the flying they intend to do. An applicant for an ATPL must already hold a CPL, a multi-engine instrument rating , and a multi-crew cooperation certificate. Alternatively, in EASA states and the United Kingdom, the applicant may only hold a Multi-Pilot License (MPL). ATPL holders who previously held an MPL are restricted to multi-pilot operations unless they complete

285-458: The crash of Colgan Air Flight 3407 , an air transport certificate became a requirement for all commercial air transport pilots. This effectively raised the number of flight hours required for new commercial pilots from 250 to 1500. Applicants with military or university flying training can apply for a restricted airline transport pilot certificate (R-ATP) with a reduced number of hours. The R-ATP can be obtained at age 21. To be eligible to take

304-453: The crew through a motion platform upon which the simulator cabin is mounted. The motion platform must produce accelerations in all of the six degrees of freedom (6-DoF) that can be experienced by a body that is free to move in space, using a principle called acceleration onset cueing , generally using the Stewart platform design. Visual systems of full flight simulators are typically based on

323-557: The highest standard and being eligible for zero flight time (ZFT) training of civil pilots when converting from one airliner type to another. In about 2012, these FFS levels will be changed as a result of work by an international working group chaired by the UK Royal Aeronautical Society Flight Simulation Group (RAeS FSG), which rationalised 27 previous categories of flight training device into 7 international ones. This work has been accepted by ICAO and

361-501: The normal prerequisites. The FAA ATP flight test can be taken in a light piston aircraft with 1,500 hours of experience, however, the FAA additionally requires a 'Type Rating' to pilot any large or jet-powered aircraft. Most FAA-certified pilots earn their ATP certificate and Type Rating (aircraft specific) simultaneously via the successful completion of a part 121 airline training program and type rating check-ride.
