Buenos días, perdonar que os moleste con este tema pero no he encontrado ninguna fuente. Me gustaría saber si al tener 1500 horas puedo sacarme el ATPL FAA si hago una habilitación de tipo y el teórico ATPL FAA.
MUCHAS GRACIAS.

No tienes más que examinarte del teórico en alguna escuela (es un examen tipo test delante de un ordenador con las preguntas sacadas del Gleim) y cuando termines tu habilitación de tipo te dan la licencia FAA temporal con el ATP.
Saludos.

Muchas gracias C550. Un amigo me ha dejado el otro libro ASA que es verde, supongo que será lo mismo. Despues de obtener el ATPL temporal, ¿cuando obtengo el ATPL definitivo? Muchas gracias de nuevo.

You must be able to read, speak, write, and understand the English Language
You must be able to obtain a 1st class medical certificate
You must be 23 years of age
You must hold at least a commercial pilot license with instrument rating
You must have 1500 hours total flying time
You must have 500 cross country flight time
You must have 75 hour of actual or simulated instrument flight time
You must pass the FAA ATP written exam
You must pass the ATP Oral and Practical Exam

Gracias por los puntos que señalas, pero creo que eso es en el caso que lo hagas todo FAA. Pero yo solo quiero hacer el ATPL. Pienso que no necesito «You must hold at least a commercial pilot license with instrument rating FAA» y el examen oral.
De todas formas gracias por tu aportación.
