Commercial
Pilot Certificate Course — Additional
Rating
55 clock hours (40 flight, 15 ground)
Completion Time: 5 weeks
Course Objectives
This course is designed for a student
who holds a Commercial Pilot Certificate
but does not hold a helicopter rating.
During the course the student will
acquire the skills and knowledge necessary
to successfully complete the Commercial
Pilot practical test for helicopters
administered by the Federal Aviation
Administration (FAA).
The Commercial Pilot Certificate
with a helicopter rating is a prerequisite
for enrollment in the Flight Instructor
Certificate Course.
Course
Description
During the flight component of the
course, the student will learn to
perform basic and advanced maneuvers,
including pinnacle and confined area
operations, to a high degree of skill.
Emphasis will be placed on operating
safely and competently in the off-airport
environment. The student will receive
advanced training in emergency procedures,
with extensive practice in 180-degree
autorotations and power-limited landing
situations.
During
the ground component of the training,
the student will acquire the knowledge
required to operate safely as a commercial
helicopter pilot within the guidelines
of the Federal Aviation Regulations.
He or she will examine the privileges
and limitations of a Commercial Pilot,
considerations of operating “for
hire,” and elements of cockpit
resource management.
The course includes three
stages as outlined in Quantum Helicopters’ Commercial
Pilot Certificate Course Syllabus.
Each stage must be completed successfully
before the student may proceed to
the next stage. Successful completion
is determined by oral evaluation,
written testing and a flight skills
evaluation, administered by the Chief
Flight Instructor, Assistant Chief
Flight Instructor or a check pilot.
Upon successful completion of the
final stage, the student will be
considered eligible for the Commercial
Pilot helicopter FAA practical test.
