CPL or ATPL
I promise Sticky I have looked in previous threads and I cant find the answer to what I believe is a relatively simple question. In terms of ground exams what is the diference between studying for a CPL(A) and ATPL (A)? I have no need for an ATPL and I am assuming the CPL ground exams are less-is that the case? Why is it that I cannot find a school that does full time ground school for the CPL, only at ATPL level. This gives the impression they are one and the same thing in ground exam terms.

From what I'm led to believe there are almost similar, except a couple less exams, hence why most people just bite the bullet and do the 14 ATPL's.
If you've ran 26 miles for a marathon you might as well walk 300 yards to pick up your medal and piece of tin-foil.
No doubt some 'statto' will give you the exact sub-section paragraph and appendix from LASORS

Why do it if it's not fun?
