The helicopter specific exams,(ATPL(H), have been in use for over two years for helicopter only FTOs with exemptions for other FTOs to use the 13 F/W exams plus POF(H). These exemptions will cease, I believe, for those starting courses after the end of 2006. Then the common exams for remain the same with helicopter specific exams for:
Pof, Ops procedures, Performance, Flight Planning, Airframes and Systems. I am not absolutely certain about Instrumentation. The Airframe exam recently came on line for those taking the first time but the old exams are still available for those who had already started under the old scheme.
There are the reduced number of exams for the CPL(H) for those schools who teach it.
There are also crossover ATPL exams A to H which consist of POF,OPS,PERF, and a combined FP,A/F and Law.
Have fun.
