I don't think anyone is approved to provide training for it yet. Current registered facilities cannot train for the LAPL until they become ATOs and given the financial implications, they will, if they have any sense, delay that as long as possible (April 2015).

Would any instructor and/or flying school be prepared to be responsible for letting someone loose with the minimum hours the LAPL(H) rules allow? I certainly would not.
There are very few PPL(H)s who manage to achieve a pass standard and complete the syllabus in anything approaching the minimum hours for that licence. I see no way that a LAPL(H) will be able to achieve a satisfactory standard unless he does enough flying time to get a PPL(H).
Another poor decision by the EASA jobsworths IMO. Helicopters are NOT the same as FW.

As is is a downgraded PPLH why in God's name do we have to apply to teach it ???
Even worse just done all the forms for CAA licence to EASA licence, both rejected as they hadnt filled in the I can speak English form, only put down on their last 3 LPC,s they could speak it.Mind you one does come from Somerset so perhaps they need a bable fish !!!!!

Because it means more ££££!
So you'll have to put your training rates up. Which eventually will mean fewer students, fewer fees being paid, more expensive fees applied, even fewer fees paid...
The good news is that you can still fart for free - its the one humorous and self satisfying thing that no-one seems to have found a way to charge a fee for yet!
