The integrated ATP(A) course needs at least 195 hours of flying training, with 115 hours of instrument time and multi-crew cooperation. The modular route gets there through a CPL, a multi-engine instrument rating and MCC. PilotMetrics tracks every minimum along the way.
The UK CAA and EASA share the same Part-FCL minimums. These are the training minimums PilotMetrics checks your logbook against.

Training minimums only, not legal advice. The course leads to a "frozen" ATPL: the full ATPL needs 1,500 hours of flight time and other experience under FCL.510.A. You also need the ATPL theory exams, medical and skill tests. Check the current regulation for your licence.
