Professional
Pilot Instrument Program
300 clock hours (165 flight, 135 ground)
Completion Time: 9-12 months is average
Program Objectives
Designed for the student with no previous
flight experience, this program prepares
him or her for entry into the commercial
helicopter marketplace. Upon completion
of the program, the student will have
obtained the Private, Instrument, Commercial,
Flight Instructor and Instrument Instructor
certificates and ratings in helicopters,
and will be qualified for an entry-level
helicopter flight instructor position.
The inclusion of Instrument and Instrument
Instructor ratings enhances the student's
marketability as an instructor and pilot.
Program Description
This program is intended for a full-time student, and is designed to take him or her from the first lesson
through completion of the Instrument Instructor course as efficiently as possible. It comprises selected
courses from our list of individual courses, which the student must complete sequentially. At the
conclusion of each course, the student must successfully complete a practical test administered by the
Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) before proceeding to the next course. (Note that although these
practical tests are required, they are administered independently and are not considered part of the
program.)
A detailed description
of each individual course may be found below. Each course within the program
includes two or three stages as outlined in the applicable Quantum Helicopters 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 relevant FAA practical test.
