Helicopter Pilot Training
A Commercial Helicopter Pilot License (CPL(H)) allows you to operate helicopters for compensation or hire. Here are the key requirements and steps to obtain a CPL(H):
Helicopter Pilot Licence Overview
As a prospective commercial pilot, during your CPL training course you will be expected to develop and progress into a professional, capable pilot. While still giving the normal flexible and approachable Aeros mentality to you and your training, our team and your instructor will develop you into the diligent pilot that an airline wants to hire.
Despite being one of the most important parts of the process, the course of training towards a Commercial Pilot Licence is mostly designed to enhance and refine skills that you likely already have. The step from a private pilot to a commercial pilot is a big one, and the CPL training course ensures that you can meet the standards that are expected.
A full Commercial Pilot Licence training course with Aeros is 25 hours of instruction on either a multi-engine or a complex aircraft, as is your preference. Some elements which are covered in the training are:
-
VFR navigation
-
Communications
-
Basic instrument flight
-
Airspace transits
-
General handling
-
Operational Procedures
Much of this you will have covered countless times before; right from the beginning of your flight training. However, the Commercial Pilot Licence changes the way you deal with these elements of flight, and the level of professionalism and accuracy that you are flying with.
