ATPL(H) theory, structured for rotorcraft ambitions.

Professional helicopter theory in 13 subjects, VFR or with IR. We were the first school in Germany to offer the complete ATPL(H)/IR course.

Two pathways, one fee

ATPL(H) VFR for operations that don't need an instrument rating. ATPL(H)/IR adds the IR theory; under Part-FCL the IR theory credit stays valid for the issue of an IR for 36 months after you pass. Both cost €4,999.

How the course runs

  1. Module 1: operational foundations

    Air Law, Operational Procedures, Meteorology, Communications, Human Performance.

  2. Module 2: flight planning and performance

    Principles of Flight, Performance, Flight Planning, General Navigation, Mass & Balance.

  3. Module 3: aircraft systems and navigation

    Aircraft General Knowledge, Instruments, Radio Navigation.

Three brush-up weeks with live instruction, 100% on Zoom, with study material written for helicopter pilots.

Exams

We coordinate your theory exams with EASA authorities according to the applicable requirements.

Helicopters are where we started

Helicopter training has always been part of Cranfield. ADAC has repeatedly used us for IR theory in the helicopter sector. More about the school.
