Conversion Training

---

As a number of syllabus items are transferable during conversion training from a Private Licence – Helicopters, Private or Commercial Licence – Aeroplanes. To give you an understanding of the requirements, a tailored course of training would have to be prepared prior to commencement of training. 

Syllabus items such as Ab initio and navigation are able to be tailored to comply with required minimum requirements. 

Conversion Training requires the following minimum flight times:

• 140 hours flight time as a pilot,
• 70 hours flight time as a pilot – helicopter,
• 35 hours flight time command as a pilot – helicopter,
• 10 hours flight time cross country – helicopter.

To study commercial helicopter theory from a private licence, all seven subjects are required to be completed, with only the applicable helicopter subjects being required when converting from commercial aeroplanes.
