Hi All

Does anyone out there know if the The J N Somers Scholarship for a frozen ATPL is solely for fixed wing? or do they consider Rotary aswell?

Thanks in advance.

Planks only.

The equivalent cost for a 'frozen' ATPL(H) would probably be at least double the cost of a 'frozen' ATPL(A). (For example, the cost of the IR(H) alone is nearly the same as the whole 'frozen' ATPL(A)!)


Tudor - Well done to the Guild and great to see them getting behind helicopters. :ok:

They have been for years, Ned. The Weetabix scholarship was first awarded in 2004, and that obviously doesn't include the hundreds of GAPAN members who come from rotary backgrounds. ;)

Bravo - Sorry never realised they were that much involved with the helo side.

Last year, there were just 15 candidates for this Scholarship.


Good odds for the cost of a postage stamp to submit an application?
