Questions that are often asked
a) Are the ground exams difficult?
No - but you will have to do some studying. Ground school, including 1:1
instruction is available. Generally however, directed self study, plus some
ground tuition from your instructor, is normally sufficient.
b) How long will it take?
This depends on you. In order to meet your individual requirements, we
provide anything from a 5 week full time course, to a more leisurely
training programme lasting up to a year or more.
c) Is the medical demanding?
Providing you are in good health, the medical should not be a problem.
However, it does have to be conducted by a CAA authorized medical examiner.
We can provide details of a doctor who is local to you.
d) How do I keep my license valid?
You will have to renew your license after 5 years (via a form and fee sent
to the CAA). You will also have to keep your helicopter "Type
Rating" valid. This will require you to carry out a proficiency check
each year including a total of 2 hours or more on that type (the check
flight time can make up part of the 2 hours).
e) Do I have to commit myself to a
course?
No. You do not have to commit yourself
to a complete course.

up to date maps?
