Pre-requisite Conditions for training
An applicant for a type rating for single-engine or
multi-engine helicopters shall complete a course of
flight instruction related to the type rating skill test
Training Requirements
For rating issue you must:-
a. Provide evidence of having completed a course of
training at an authorised Type Rating Training
Organisation (TRTO), following a syllabus
recognised by the JAA (see Section F, Appendix
F).
b. Pass a Licensing Skills Test (LST) conducted by
an authorised Type Rating Examiner (TRE),
c. Pass a theoretical knowledge written exam as part
of the TRTO course.
JAR-FCL 2.261/2.262 refers.
The type rating course, including theoretical knowledge
shall be completed within the 6 months preceding the
skill test. Each applicable item of the skill test shall be
satisfactorily completed within the 6 months
immediately preceding the date of receipt of the
application for the rating.
Any application made to PLD outside of this 6 month
period will require the applicant to complete further
discretional flying/ground training at the TRTO. In
addition, the applicant will be required to re-take and
pass the theoretical knowledge examination, Licensing
Skill Test and complete the required circuits and
landings as specified below.
Helicopter
Whenever a helicopter is used for training the amount
of flight time practical training should be adequate for
the completion of the skill test. This should be at least 5
hours for single-pilot single engine, 8 hours for
single-pilot multi-engine and 10 hours for multi-pilot
helicopters.
The amount of flight training will depend on the
complexity of the helicopter type involved and, to some
extent, on the previous experience of the applicant.
Holders of an IR(H) wishing to extend the IR(H) to a
further type should have an additional 5 hours flight
training on type according to IFR.
F8.4 RE-VALIDATION OF HELICOPTER
TYPE RATINGS
Revalidation of a helicopter type rating requires a
proficiency check in the relevant type of helicopter
within the 3 months immediately preceding the expiry
date of the rating, and at least 2 hours (including the
proficiency check) as pilot of the relevant helicopter
within the validity period of the rating.
For single-engine piston helicopters as listed below
(Appendix 1 to JAR-FCL 2.245(b)(3) refers), an
applicant shall complete at least the proficiency check
in accordance with JAR-FCL 2.245(b)(1) on one of the
applicable types held provided that the applicant has
fulfilled at least 2 hours pilot-in-command flight time on
the other type(s) during the validity period which that
revalidation proficiency check shall carry across. The
type ratings for this purpose are:-
Bell 47, Brantley B2, Hughes 269, Enstrom ENF28
and Hiller UH12
