Once you have a licence, you may want to learn to fly a different type of helicopter. Courses must be conducted with an authorised Type Rating Training Organisation (TRTO). As a TRTO, we conduct such courses and these can often be completed in a few days and we have staff examiners available to conduct your test.

We are approved to conduct type rating conversions onto the following types of helicopter:

• Robinson R22
• Robinson R44
• Bell 206 Jet Ranger

Courses usually comprise of 5 hours of flying training, depending on your experience and other ratings held. Generally, weather permitting, this can be achieved in a 2-3 day period.

There will also be some ground school instruction and a written exam, specific to that type. A Type Rating Skill Test will then follow with an Examiner.
