The course of flying lessons leading to your PPL(H) consists of flight instruction, so that the Pilot under training is given the knowledge and competence in flying and Aviation technique so that he/she can pass
the flight test and all of the ground examinations to all current regulations. The PPL(H) course is designed to get you to the required standard with a minimum of 45 flying hours, ten of which should be solo, plus Ground School (see FAQ). Ground School is very much a part of learning to fly and students must be prepared to undertake the bookwork involved; subjects covered, for example include: Navigation, Air Law and the Theory of Flight.

A breakdown of the main course elements are as follows:
  •  
  • CAA Medical Examination

  •  
  • Completion of minimum of 45 hours flight training – of which 10 hours should be solo

  •  
  • Pass 7 multiple choice ground examinations

  •  
  • Pass Radio Telephony oral examination

  •  
  • Pass a Flight Test

We recommend you try one of our Trial Lessons before taking the plunge, this will give you an insight into helicopter flying and the time flown will count in your log book toward the minimum 45 flying hours requirement.
