Southern Helicopters (at Takeley, immediately south of Stansted) are the UK distributors and hold a TRTO approval for type rating training which requires 5 hours dual plus the Skills test. Most low-time rotary pilots take the opportunity to do some additional training. There are currently 3 FIs for the type, 2 of whom are also FEs.
The Rotorway is an Annex II aircraft (ie not EASA approved) and flies on a Permit only. Whilst on the face of it CAP 804 and the ANO and ORS series suggest that the LAPL (H) syllabus may be carried as training for the issue of a NPPL (H), the CAA has yet to confirm that this is the case.
