We will arrange for you to join a lecture class, usually meeting 4-5 evenings a week for 2 weeks, which will cover the full PPL theory syllabus, ensuring a thorough grounding in basic aviation theory. The examination must be sat within 30 days of your final flight test and a helicopter technical and general theory exam during the course of your training.

 

Once you have your PPL(H), you may carry passengers, but not for financial gain. To draw income from flying you will need a Commercial Helicopter Licence. This requires a total of 200 flying hours, the passing of the commercial examinations laid out by the Directorate for Civil Aviation examinations board, and the completion of a practical flight test carried out by a CAA examiner.
