Course of the training

The instructor license training consists of a theoretical and a practical part. The theoretical training comprises 125 hours. The duration of the training depends on your possibilities / requirements and amounts to ca. 3 - 6 months.

Practical training

The practical instructor training starts during the theoretical training and will be finished after passing the demonstration lesson. In at least 30 flight hours, you learn to train a pilot to the performance level of a PPL(H).

For the practical training we use the following helicopter types:

o    Schweizer HU269

o    Robinson R44

o    Eurocopter EC120

The objective of this course is to impart the necessary skills for successful crew teamwork, to be able to control multi-pilot helicopters as pilot in command or co-pilot, under visual- and instrument flight rules

The focus shall be on the crew cooperation during possible normal-, abnormal- and emergency situations.

Our multi-crew-cooperation course is approved by the federal aviation authority. The course consists of 25 hours theoretical training and depending on whether the course directs to VFR or IFR

-         15 hours MCC(H) VFR or

-         20 hours MCC(H) IFR

practical training on Synthetic Training Device (FFS or FNPT).

Our MCC instructors have broad experience in multi-pilot helicopter operations. Most of them are even flight instructors on multi-pilot helicopters.

Requirements for MCC(H) Course:

·         At least PPL(H)

·         For IFR MCC(H) an Instrument Rating on helicopters

The successful passing of the MCC course is attested by a MCC(H) certification. Depending on the type, used during the practical training, the flown hours are an essential experience, cherished by aviation companies and customers.

of a type rating, including, if applicable, for the enhancement of the rights of an Instrument Rating IR(H).

Requirements for the TRI(H) course:

a)   at least 250 hours as pilot on helicopter, for the acquisition of a TRI(H) for single engine single pilot helicopters;

b)   at least 500 hours as pilot on helicopters, including 100 hours as pilot in command on multi-engine single pilot helicopters, for the acquisition of a TRI(H) for multi engine single pilot helicopters;

c)   for the acquisition of a TRI(H) for a multi-pilot helicopter at least 1000 hours as pilot on helicopters, including at least 350 hours as pilot in command on helicopters with two pilots;

d)   fulfill the requirements according to JAR-FCL 2.310.

e)   An applicant, who wants to acquire the instructor permission TRI(H) for the first time, has to demonstrate to a designated TRI(H), the ability to train a pilot, so that he meets the requirements for the acquisition of a type rating, including briefing and debriefing of the flight and theoretical training.

The course consists of three parts:

 Part 1 – Teaching and learning behaviour

The syllabus shall comprise at least 25 hours.

Part 2 – Technical Training

The technical theoretical training shall comprise at least 10 hours. If a TRI permission for multi-pilot helicopters shall be acquired, a special emphasis should be placed on the cooperation of the flight crew.

Teil 3 –  Flight Training

The flight training comprises at least 5 hours for a single engine helicopter, 10 hours for a multi-engine helicopter.

Final evaluation of the competence as TRI

The evaluation of the competence of instructors for type ratings TRI(H) is effected by means of the relevant sections of the practical examination for FI, i.e. Flight briefing, flight exercise (main exercise with additional practices), de-briefing and questions regarding the helicopter systems.

Additional type rating courses

A relevant type related theoretical training plus at least two hours flight training and passing as proficiency check  the relevant sections of the evaluation of the competence as TRI.
