There are substantial concessions if you already hold a CPL(A). CAR 5.127 (in part):
5.127 Commercial (helicopter) pilot: aeronautical experience required
(a) if the person holds a commercial pilot (aeroplane) licence ... :
(i) at least 70 hours of flight time in a helicopter; or
(ii) if the person undertook a special training course and completed the final 30 hours of the course within a period of 3 consecutive calendar months—at least 60 hours of flight time in a helicopter;
(c) in any other case:
(i) at least 125 hours of flight time in a helicopter; or
(ii) if the person undertook a special training course and completed the final 30 hours of the course within a period of 3 consecutive calendar months—at least 105 hours of flight time in a helicopter.
There's quite a bit more in that Reg that you need to take a look at. However, despite the generous concessions, I had two problems at the end of this process: (1) After 62 hours in a helicopter I qualified for a CPL(H) and still had no idea which way was up (some would say that I still have that problem
), and (2) With that level of inexperience no-one in their right mind would give me a job.
If an employer quite rightly considers than a new CPL with 105 or 125 hours lacks experience, then getting a job with 60 hours is going to be next to impossible
It can be done, but you need a lot of other things going for you, and a very compelling story to tell !
