1. Requirements
Previous rating requirements: have your Commercial Pilot (CP) for at least 3 months and at least 750 hours flying time logged on IVAN (controller hours are not taken into account), Theoretical exam: complete the ATP online test (45 minutes to answer 20 questions randomly chosen in the database), Practical exam: perform the 2 parts of the ATP exam: Part 1: Assessment of aircraft theoretical knowledge and English test, Part 2: IFR test flight (including decision making assessment and full briefing) under the guidance of a nominated examiner.
In case you do not attend the exam at the agreed date/time, the examiner will wait for 15 minutes. You will have 48 hours to provide a valid reason for not having attended the exam. If a valid reason is not given, your exam will be marked 0/100 and a delay of 90 days will apply before a new exam can be asked for.
You will find a list of technical documents for B737 and A320 series aircrafts you could refer to in Appendix I. At the time of the exam, your examiner may also pass you some graphs/tables for supporting the questions he will ask you.
(h) The examiner will usually be connected as an observer and will simulate an active ATC position although he may also connect as an active ATC or collaborate with another ATC in charge of the airspace where the exam takes place. In all cases, comply with all instructions normally. (i) Unless you are disconnected from the network, we require you submit your flight plan once, when starting the test flight, and on examiner request. You should not change any item and/or resubmit your flight plan thereafter.
4.4 Debriefing
After the exam ended, you will be requested to make a full analysis of the sequence of events, of the mistakes you identified and the way you managed them.
