Previous knowledge

Is the instructor applicant holder of a FI/A license, only Theory-credits can be taken into account:

25 hours “Teaching and learning”
55 hours of the required 100 hours of the second part of the course

Theoretical training

The theory block consists of a minimum of at least 125 hours and is split in two parts. The first one covers 25 hours and is called “Teaching and learning”. Methodical and didactical skills are taught.

The second part is all about the right formation of lessons and their use. For training purposes, the instructor applicants have to present lessons and hold courses, which are supervised by the trainers:

010 Air Law and ATC Procedures
021 Aircraft General Knowledge
022 Instrumentation
031 Mass & Balance
034 Performance Helicopters
033 Flight Planning and Monitoring
040 Human Performance
050 Meteorology
061 General Navigation
062 Radionavigation
070 Operational Procedures
082 Principles of Flight
091 VFR Communications

Practical training

The practical part is split in two phases:

Visual flight training (minimum 25 hours)
Mutual training (minimum 5 hours)

Total flight time: minimum 30 hours

The total time of 30 flight hours is being flown together with the most experienced instructors at school. The applicant is sitting in the instructor seat, the instructor takes place in the student’s seat. All procedures are being trained and practice lessons are simulated. The applicant will be trained perfectly for his later occupation and filled in to all kinds of hazards. During “Mutual Training”, two applicants fly together and alternate between student- and instructor role. This phase takes at least 5 hours.

Our commercial pilots say:

It’s a new experience every time and a lot of fun!

Each airplane or helicopter type has its own characteristics. It brings a lot of diversity in the daily business to get to know different models. Together with RotorSky I was able to realize my training in the helicopter spectrum!
