EASA CPL Conversions Helicopter to Aircraft

[tiagoaguilarserra]

Hi guys,

I have been looking for documentation that could tell me how to convert my CPLH to CPLA, i contacted a school that told me i have to do the entire CPLA course and that i dont get any credits from my previous license (CPLH), i only have 200 Hours and im "IR", i triend to contact the responsible authority of my country and guess... still waiting, does anybody knows how i can do this, do i get any credits or not.

Thanks for the help and for your time.

EASA CPL(H) to EASA CPL(H)

1: You'll need to get a PPL(A) first I think you get about 6 hours credited, so about 39 hours.

2: You'll need to do the full CPL(A) + Night course, but you can credit 100 hours of helicopter time, so you effectively need 100 hours FW before you can take the CPL(A) test.

There are always other options: You can get an FAA PPL(A) in 30 hours (or 19 depending on who you ask.) You could technically go straight to FAA CPL(A) - (you'd need endorsements for 50 hours solo) - then its a reduced 18 hour EASA conversion, no night rating needed. Ultimately, you need 100 hours in a Plane.

You will also need to do 5 theoretical knowledge exams as an approved bridging course - these would be performance, POF, operations, AGK & instrumentsl

Thanks for your help, i will see this FAA option, more work but will be worth it.

Again thanks.

Funny enough, I've been considering the same recently, from my calculations, to achieve PPL, hour build, CPL, ME, IR it's £20k ish in UK.

I've contacted several schools to enquire, and had a reply from 1. Are flying schools really doing that well that they can disregard an enquiry from a potential student willing to spend these sums of money?

I am astonished!
