Flight Training: FAQs

1. Are the ground exams difficult?

No, but you will have to do some studying. Directed self study, together with ground tuition from your instructor is normally sufficient, although additional one-to-one instruction is available if required.

2. How long will it take?

This depends entirely on your personal ability, commitment and budget. In order to meet your requirements, we provide anything from a five week full time course, to a more leisurely training programme lasting up to a year or more. All training is individually tailored.

3. Is the medical demanding?

Providing you are in good general health the medical should not be a problem. However, it does have to be conducted by a CAA authorised medical examiner. We can provide details of local examiners.

4. How do I keep my licence valid?

You will have to renew your licence after five years. You will also have to keep your helicopter 'type rating' valid. This will require you to carry out a proficiency test each year and to fly a minimum of two hours on each type of aircraft on which you hold a rating. Your test can count towards this time.

5. Do I have to commit myself to a course?

You don't have to commit to a complete course with a particular flying school but you must embark on training with a view to gaining a licence.
