Thanks for that Francois

I agree with what you are saying. I was fortunate to get my hands on the AP3456 for my examinations. Didn't really have a problem with the clockwise/anti-clockwise rotating M/R, but agree with what you are saying. They NEED to look at a PROPER module for helicopters, i.e flight planning, AT&G etc.

But what about the Airlie Pilot's Licence. How can they expect helicopter pilots to write exams based on the 747. From what I understand, the Aussie atp have a syllabus based on the Sikorsky S-76. Is this correct? If SAA can send their cadets to Aussie for their licences (they USED to) can we not adapt to THAT module?
