20 statligt finansierade helikopterutbildningsplatser till Svensk Pilotutbildning (http://www.svenskpilotutbildning.se/nyheter-sv/yrkeshogskola-helikopter)
Swedish Pilot training has been awarded 20 government-funded training for helicopter pilots. The two-year polytechnic education (UAS) will start in autumn 2014. It will annually train 20 helicopter pilots. This will be the largest single civil helicopter pilot training ever.
- The fact that the state is now going in and financing 20 training places every year with us, of course, extremely gratifying and an acknowledgment of the social benefits of these programs, says Roland Winsell, verksamhetsansvrig on Swedish Pilot training.
Swedish Pilot training was founded in 1989 and has extensive experience and expertise when it comes to train commercial pilots in both helicopter and aircraft sector. In a government study has concluded that the need for helicopter pilots is growing and that a national basic helicopter pilot training should take place. The training shall meet the future needs of helicopter pilots in areas such as search and rescue, ambulance, armed forces and police.
The demand for helicopter training in Sweden is currently a national concern and the need for highly trained helicopter pilots are expected to increase in the future.
Swedish Pilot Training basic helicopter training coordinates the pilot training in private and national civic service. Knowledge sharing and collaboration between public and private operators provide a generalized competence and contributes to the development of education, thereby raising the level of skills in the fully trained helicopter pilots.
In the public sector it is mainly the Maritime Administration who will be involved but there is also the ambition of ambulance aircraft and defense, who have shown interest, shall be involved and important players. The program also includes activities related to the workplace in the form of Learning at Work (LIA) at designated businesses or public agencies.
The new state-funded education is a strong complement to Swedish Pilot Training existing pilot training for airplanes and helicopters, where the company is already one of the leading flight schools. Swedish Pilot Training existing programs will continue to be eligible for study by CSN.
For more information on training layup and the admission process will be available on our website shortly.
1. What rating required to become a pilot? Admission requirements for becoming a pilot are:
• You must have completed high school and have a passing grade.
• You must be 18 years or older.

2nd I do not have Physics 1a, 2b Mathematics or English 6?
You can apply for Swedish Pilot training even if you do not have these substances and may also be approved to school without them. But before the course begins, you must have completed the ratings you lack. This is easily done by, for example, adult education. One can not be credited with physics through grades in natural science subject, but you need just Physics A (Physics 1a).
3rd Can I read mathematics or physics while studying at SPU?
No, you must have exams completed before classes begin.
4th I wear glasses, I can become a pilot?
Before you begin your pilot training, you will make a great medical evaluation by a medical examiner, called the Medical Class 1.
There, an ophthalmologist examine your eyes. Generally speaking, if you have vision problems that can be corrected with glasses or contact lenses, it is no problem to become a pilot, although the correction should not be too large. What often tends to be the problem is color blindness.
5th Is there an age limit to become a pilot?
You must be 18 years old and graduated from high school with approved diploma.
6. Is there a weight or length requirements to begin at SPU?
We fly Diamond 40, DA40 and the Robinson R22 to begin with and to fit in the plane / helicopter, you can not be longer than 1.95 m (especially if you have long legs can be a problem) and you can not weigh more than 90 kg. If you are unsure, please contact us and we will arrange so you can sit in the aircraft / helikotern.
7. I have already Medical class 2, do I still Medical Class 1?
A Medical Class 2 is okay for a PPL, so you can start PPL with this certificate. But to become a commercial pilot, you must have have a Medical Class 1, so for your own sake, it is just as well apply for it directly, so you will not be disappointed later on if you do not pass the Medical Class 1. You must have Medical Class 1 before ATPL theory starts.
8. I come from a country outside the EU, do I need a Swedish citizenship to study at SPU?
No, it will not require a Swedish citizenship. Instead required (student) visa if you come from a country not with the EEA (ie not connected to the EU's trade agreements).
Cost and Financing
9. What does it cost to become a pilot?
You will be given a thorough explanation about the prices of Recruitment Day. You can also read more on Cost and Disposition under both Be Pilot Airplane and become a helicopter pilot .
10th Can you get CSN as you study at SPU?
Yes, if you read the whole Trafikflygarutbildningen - even helicopter. SPU is the only school where tuition fees can be largely financed with CSN and this applies to both aircraft (up to 360,000) and helicopter training (up to 300,000).
11. How is funding students normally educated at SPU?
Many have saved money or get help from relatives. You can get the CSN for nearly half of the cost which is unique for Swedish Pilot training and both airplanes and helicopters. We will talk you through everything about the financing portion of the Recruitment Day .
