How to remove R-ATP/PIC limitations via a DPE
I just removed the R-ATP and PIC limitations from my pilot certificate using a DPE. I couldn't find a good condensed source of information for how to do it, so I'm gonna document it here.
Yes, if your airline will do this for you for free, then go ahead and do that, of course. However, if your airline won't/can't outside upgrade and you need/want an unrestricted ATP now, then this worked. Instructions are based on direction from the PWM FSDO. It's never a bad idea to check with your local FSDO first, because y'know the FAA. If you'll work with a DPE who hasn't done this before, then you'll probably have to lead them through the process. Be prepared. I needed one paper 8710 for each limitation that I was removing. This was explicitly stated by the FSDO inspector. I removed two limitations, so I submitted two 8710s. Neither the DPE nor the FAA gave me a hard time about submitting two forms at once. If you're removing a 61.167 (R-ATP) restriction, then bring your logbooks to prove your aeronautical experience. If you're removing a PIC-in-type limitation, then bring proof that you have twenty-five hours of supervised operating experience (SOE: flying, not monitoring). If you're removing both limitations, then bring it all, of course. On the 8710, make sure:
The whole thing takes half an hour to an hour, depending on how fast and/or thorough your DPE is. If your FSDO provides different instructions, then this thread would be a good place to document that. Just sayin'. No, I can't lead you through the process personally. Please don't PM me about such stuff... just read the post above. Sorry. Good luck! |
This is GOLD!

What is a restricted atp? I thought working at a 121 carrier required a full atp

Google FAR 14 CFR 61.160 |
Does passing the single engine ATP checkride automatically remove the limitation?

There are a multiple things now that allow someone to get a restricted ATP. Military, graduating from an approved flight school with 60 credits of aviation courses and a bachelors or approved school with 30 credits and an associates. May be more, but those are the ones I know off the top of my head.

The only way to remove the limitation is to meet the age and aeronautical experience requirements. |

No, it doesn't. You'd still have the restriction, but you wouldn't be limited to ASE commercial privileges.
