Helicopter Skills Test

Hi guys, Im expecting to do my helicopter skills test soon. I'm fairly sure I know whats going to come up with regards the actual flying part of the exam, but what should I expect to be grilled on in the oral part?

allan,

You might be better off asking your question here: Rotorheads

It's where most of us rotary types hang out anyway.

Still, is it an FAA or JAA test? The 'oral section' has a much greater bearing on an FAA test than a JAA test.

Emergencies are obviously key, if you are doing the test on the R22, then study what action you take if certain warning lights come on. As you know there is a difference to land immediatley and and Land when practical.
Also be spot on, on C of G calculations
