HOW TO BECOME A PRIVATE PILOT

THE PROCEDURE

  1. The theoretical part of the training can be completed either as part of a course over six weekends, or as a flexible individual training course with individually agreed appointments. At least 100 teaching hours are required to cover the mandatory subject areas.
  2. The practical part of the training is based around individual appointments with you. We recommend a training period of approximately 6 months.
  3. The theoretical exam takes place at the appropriate national aviation authority. Overland solo flights are only possible once you have successfully passed the theoretical exam.
  4. Once you have completed the required teaching hours and feel ready, you will sit the practical exam with a recognised FE(H) examiner.
  5. The PPL(H) licence entitles you to pilot or co-pilot non-commercial helicopters.

We are happy to answer any further questions you may have about the scope and validity of the licence, prerequisites, training procedure and costs!

RELIEF FOR HOLDERS OF PPL(A)/(AS) OR LAPL(A)/(H)/(S) LICENCES

THEORY

Since you have already learnt most of the theoretical content to acquire your existing licence, the theoretical training can be greatly shortened if approved by the German Federal Aviation Authority (Luftfahrt-Bundesamt). As a rule, you will only need to cover the helicopter-specific content and refresh your knowledge of certain other topics, for example:

  • General aircraft technology & systems
  • Aerodynamics
  • Behaviour in specific situations
  • Navigation - with theoretical exam

PRACTICE

In addition to the theoretical relief, current regulations also include an allowance for flight hours completed in other aircraft. This allows you to carry over up to 6 flight hours to your practical training. Another exception is eligible flight experience acquired under a LAPL(H) licence - in this case, the required flight hours may be further reduced.

Conclusion: for holders of PPL(A)/(AS) or LAPL (A)/(H)/(S) licences, the legal requirements for PPL(H) training are only 39 flight hours instead of 45.
