Type Rating Courses

A license holder must possess a valid type rating in order to fly a specific helicopter type. Each helicopter type requires that the license holder has successfully passed a type course and check flight with a CAA-examiner.

For the moment, EHC can provide you with JAA-approved type rating courses for five different helicopters according to JAA-requirements:

  • Robinson R22
  • Robinson R44
  • Eurocopter AS 350
  • Eurocopter AS 355
  • Bölkow BO 105

The course is divided in two parts, one theoretical part and a flying training program with a minimum number of flying hours.

The theory part teaches the candidate about helicopter construction, equipment and maintenance procedure and the candidate must pass a written test.

Flying training consists of lecturing on the helicopter performance and an approved flying training program containing a specific minimum number of flight lessons (hours) with a type rating instructor (TRI)

Upon course completion, the candidate will demonstrate his knowledge and flying skills to a CAA-examiner during a type check flight for the type rating.
