Overseas ATPL Conversion
Air Law

The conversion process is only available to persons who actually hold an ATPL with another country. To have just passed the ATPL theory examination in a foreign country is in itself not sufficient. You must obviously have passed the examination, but you must have taken that extra step to actually hold the ATPL licence in order to do the conversion. In order to do so, you will need to pass the Australian

1....	CPL Flight Rules and Procedures examination (called CLWA (for Aeroplanes) or CLWH for Helicopters))
2....	Command Instrument Rating examination (IREX) and
3....	ATPL Air Law examination (AALW)

Prior to issuing the Australian ATPL, you will need to hold a Command Instrument Rating (Multi-engine), 1,500 hours aeronautical experience, have a Class 1 medical certificate, produce your existing ATPL and your log book.

WHAT YOU GET

You are provided with a booklet of questions, arranged into various topics for you to research and find the answers from the CAOs, CARs etc. To assist you to become familiar with the various documents, a CAO Index is included which provides an extensive listing of the CAOs 20 - 95 and many cross related references into the CARs and AIP. This is an invaluable aid in helping you to learn your way around the documents.

Generally students who are familiar with the Australian documents can complete the course in only three or four days. But, if you are new to the Australian documents and particularly if you have difficulty understanding "legal jargon" then you may find that it may take up to two weeks to complete. Should you be unable to sort out any question/s then you also have access to our Freecall 1800 "Help Line" to ensure that you get it right.

Note:

To complete the course, and also the examination, you will require a complete set of current documents, including:

THE AIR LAW EXAMINATION

The AALW examination consists of 30 multiple choice questions, each worth one mark. To obtain your pass you must achieve a minimum of 80% within the 1½ hours allocated. The examination is all open book and it is your responsibility to ensure that you have a complete set of current documents for the examination.

CASA take a lot of care with their examinations, to ensure that questions are challenging, relevant and current. So please do not handicap yourself in the examination by using out of date publications.

You will find that most of the questions will be covered in the CAOs, CARs and the AIP with very few, if any, actually requiring DAPS. We would strongly suggest that at least for the examination you have a copy of these as well.

If you are using "Jeppesen" publications, then you are at liberty to continue doing so and they are quite acceptable to use both for our course and in the examination.
