Dear Admin,
I'm military (Coast Guard) helicopter pilot in JAA-member country and I have 3150 flight hours in twin-engine AB 412 EP and I'm also TRI certified.
In my country for military service, there are credit hours for
ground course lessons and
flight hours to have CPL (A) with IR (A) (regarding to JAR–FCL 2.020 and JAR–FCL 2.050. There is also a similar procedures in non-JAA orginization as LASORS).
For example; If you are a helicopter pilot with minimum 16 flight years and 2000 flight hours, and If you want to have CPL (A) with ATPL (A) theoretical training,
a) You can have 100 hours flight time as credit (normally 200 hours for a new starter) for CPL Flight Course
b) You can have only 100 hours ATPL theoretical training course. Non-credited (100 hours) lessons are : 010 AIR LAW AND ATC PROCEDURES(
40 hours) , 032 PERFORMANCE (AEROPLANE) (
30 hours), 071 OPERATIONAL PROCEDURES (AEROPLANE) (
30 Hours)).
So, I have two questions for you:
1) Do you have a bridge course for helicopter pilots who want to have CPL(A) ? If yes, how much will it coast in total (including everything and no additional or surprise costs) ?
2) What is the shortest time for me to have this course. I ask this
time based issue, because I have a limited holiday time and I can have maximum one month holiday in a year. Do you have some exceptions like "accelerated course" for pilots like me who have limited free time
?
Hope to see your answer soon,
Best regards
