PRIVATE PILOT ADDITIONAL RATING COURSE
ROTORCRAFT/HELICOPTER | Robinson R22, R44, & S300
A Private Helicopter Pilot Additional Rating allows you to add a rotorcraft category and helicopter class ratings to your existing pilot license. The student will learn how to fly a helicopter building upon skill and knowledge previously acquired from previous pilot experience. At the end of the Private Helicopter Pilot Additional Rating Course, you will have acquired the aeronautical knowledge and flight proficiency necessary to pass the required tests to add Private Pilot privileges to your existing pilot license.
Course Details
Students who hold a Private Pilot Certificate in a category other than Rotorcraft/Helicopter (such as Airplane) may add the Private Helicopter Rating without taking the Private Helicopter Knowledge Test. Please note that SFAR-73-1 requires 20 hours of dual instruction prior to solo practice.
