'New' Heli CPL/ATPL?
I have just picked up the following info from the Web Site of a well respected UK ground school and it's Sunday.
The JAA have just started to provide the national Authorities with helicopter written exams. The UK CAA will allow helicopter pilots to either attempt the new 'helicopter specific' papers or to follow what they call an 'interim procedure' where the ground exams are the JAA fixed wing equivalents, except for two subjects, Performance and Principles of Flight...
Does anyone have more information on these Helicopter specific papers? Are they just replacements for some of the ATPL exams or is it an entirely new beast?
Thank you in advance for any information.
Cron.
