Conversion to EASA ATPL(H)/IR

I am interested in converting my EASA ATPL(A) to the ATPL(H).

From reading Cap 804, there is a small amount of credit with regards to flight time.

Is there any credit given for the 14 exams? i.e. do I just need to do Principles of Flight (H)

Is there any credit given for already holding the IR albeit fixed wing?


Cheers!

Bridging course - 5 exams, POF, Perf, Ops, AGK, AGK Instruments.

There is some credit for the FW IR, but you'd be best talking to an IR school about that - try Helicopter Services on 01494 513166

Bristol Groundschool are also approved to do the TK bridging course (highly recommended school).

CATS are due to get their approval imminently (apparently!).

In any event, the UK CAA despite telling me differently to start with, have since confirmed that the ground school MUST have a specific approval to cover the bridging course.
