I just started their course about 3 weeks ago for the ATPL(H), after getting my FAA CPL and CFI certificates during the year in Fresno, CA. From what I gather, it's the first JAA ATPL course that is purely helicopter specific including the exams. I think they have a CPL course also.

Contact Phil Croucher at [email protected]. He is pretty easy to deal with and will answered all my questions.

Best of luck in LA.

Hi Warmkiter,

sorry, but no credits from the FAA tickets to the JAA. You'll get a credit in some subjects such as Met, Nav, Air Law and so on, from your JAA ATPL (A) towards the JAA CPL-H.
I did it the other way around 3 y ago. It's called a bridge course.
Contact CAT (Civil Aviation Training) in Worms for details or search website.

Viel spass! ;)

TS,

I'm sure he would have to do a written exam! At least in the helicopter specific subjects such as performance, weight and balance, aerodynamics, ops proced. and so on.
Maybe different in UK tho.

Cheers

Sorry dude, I obviously didn't read your post properly before jumping in feet first with a reply!! Whoops!:*

I had an ATPL (A) and then did the CPL(H) through the JAA system. I go credit for all the written exams except one - P of F (H) and I also got a 50 hour credit on doing the CPL flying course so I could start it with 105 hours total. Incidentally there was no credit for the hours to get a FI(H) even though I had 6000 FI(A) hours and I had to get the full 250 hours on helicopters to do the FI course, though I got credit of 75 hours on the ground school element. Hope this helps.
