IR – Instrument Rating Helicopter

We offer a combined FAA / JAA course for the IR – Instrument Rating helicopter with our parent FAA training provider Northern American Helicopters. The training program will give you the option of Single Engine IR or Multi Engine IR. In both cases you will be given the FAA PPL with IR, JAA IR rating (SE or ME) and Bell 206 Type Rating.

The training is conducted at our training center in Sweden. With the background from training flight crew for the airlines we have created a sophisticated enhanced program that will give you the solid base you require in order to fly a helicopter IFR. We have included CRM, Crew Resource Management throughout the training with emphasis on a multi pilot crew operation to prepare you for the upcoming employment of flying a large twin IFR helicopter. Another important valuable part is that all training is taking place in a helicopter, we do not use any airplane or airplane simulator for this training.

At our training center we are using CBT (Computer Based Training) and simulations for briefings and lecturing, its all included in the course.

We will arrange everything for you with this program in order to make it as smooth as possible, we even take care of your accommodation if you require. If you have training from another training provider than us we do require an assessment flight by one of our instructors to ensure that your flight standards are up to the PPL standard. For the PPL checkride we can offer Schweizer 300, Cabri G2, Bell 206 or EC120.

• FAA PPL Checkride Cabri G2/Schweizer 300 (1.5 hrs)
