Entry requirements

[Heliplates]

Hi All

Can anyone tell me if there is any entry requirements (eg GCSE's A levels)
you need before you can enroll on to cpl(h) or atpl exam course's?
All i can seem to find is the student must have sufficient knowledge of maths and physics, do they just take your word for it or is there a minimum requirement?

Your help will be much appreciated,

Many thanks Heliplates.

If you're embarking on modular training with a PPL(H), then there are no entrance requirements as such just, as you say, a sufficient knowledge of maths and physics.

If you have already undertaken PPL ground exams, you should have a rough idea of the level that is required.

Some integrated schools may have their own requirements however.

If you find you're having difficulty with some of the concepts and you're undertaking distance learning, you may have to put yourself on a brush-up course.

The only thing you need mate is money. That is what it takes to become a civilian pilot.

Try to have a look at some of the various study books and you can see for yourself the standard required.

Good luck

And those are the facts, Ma'am.

You need an ICAO PPL before starting a CPL/ATPL Groudschool course.

Only on the modular route; if the original poster wants to pay for an integrated ab initio course then there are no entry requirements except those which may be required by the individual school.

Entry requirement to be a professional helicopter pilot? Easy - £70,000 or rich parents.

Yes, £70k will make you an entry level pro pilot (on paper anyway) but budget for another £30k+ to become salaried. If only it was that easy.
