Future

The ATPL(H) theory credit restricted to VFR covers theoretical knowledge requirements for all EASA aeroplane flight crew licences excluding the instrument rating. Once passed the theoretical knowledge examination for an airline transport pilot licence you will be credited with the theoretical knowledge requirements for the light aircraft pilot licence, the private pilot licence, the commercial pilot licence (helicopters).

Your ATPL theory credit stays valid for 36 months for the issue of a commercial pilot licence counted from the day when you have successfully completed the theoretical knowledge examination. 

The completion of the airline transport pilot licence (ATPL) theoretical knowledge examinations will remain valid for the issue of an ATPL for a period of 7 years from the last validity date of a helicopter’s type rating entered in that licence.
