Gents,

Frozen ATPL is purely JAR licence required to fly commercially in
Europe.
It relates to passing the theory part of the rating.
You still need to have your Commercial, IR, etc. but chances of getting
a flying job without one are marginal.
ATPL gets 'unfrozen' passing 1500TT flight time.

Cheers

Thus the "frozen" thing. Basically AIUI, you pass the written but
don't meet any other requirements of holding an ATP (including
practical and hours). Seems like it could be up there in the list of
pointless pieces of paper one could striving to be waving around, but
since I don't know JAR/ICAO stuff I could be wrong about it's
significance.

He didn't say, however, ATP ICAO or JAR would seem to
require more than 280 hours, particularly when he doesn't
consider the IR for a year.

| Yep, I think I switched the 135 PIC IFR time with the
ATP.
| Any case, with only 280, the OP has plenty of time to
study.
