Fixed-wing IR conversion to Rotary IR
Hi everyone,
Could someone give me a heads up on this subject please.
If you had an ATPL(A) and a UK ATPL(H) ((no IR)) would it be possible to "convert" a fixed wing IR into a rotary IR?
Or is it just a rumour?

Kiss,
Thanks for the reply, I've looked at Lasors but can't see the wood for the trees.
I have a fixed wing IR and would like to get a rotary IR, but I don't have several 'K' spare under the mattress.....sadly!!

Sorry to pop the bubble but our friends at Cash Again & Again have no read across from A to H and vice versa.
I also held an ATPL(H) prior to obtaining a fATPL(A) and the only help the CAA could offer was to allow me a 15 hour IR which included 5 hour sim and 10 Hour flying. That was with an ATPL(H) IR!
I feel that they will probably go the same route going the other way.
Good news is though, assymetric, single engine overshoot never seemed to be too much of a problem in a helo, wonder why????
Don't think the JAA issues an ATPL(H) without the IR do they? Could be wrong but mine came through as a CPL(H) until I had the IR pegged!

Did it as part of my job, Captain on S61's!!!
As to where you would go to get it, I would have to say I have no real idea.
Have a look at Sloane or Fast Helicopters at Thruxton. Price comes down to what heli, but I'm sure your aware of that.
Good Luck
p.s. Nothing worse in the world than flying IR in a single engined helicopter thinking about how your gonna autorotate!
