Helicopter Instructor Rating Course Details
The actual Instructor Rating Course consists of 30 hours flight time, additional daily ground study and a flight instructor test arranged with the CAA.
Once you have passed your FI(H) test and gained your EASA / UK CAA helicopter instructor rating, you will be qualified as a ‘restricted FI(H)’ and able to work as a paid helicopter training instructor under the supervision of a suitable qualified instructor. As soon as you have gained the required instruction experience, this restriction can be removed and you will be able to work as a paid helicopter instructor without supervision from another qualified instructor.
The FI(H) training school is located at our Gloucester Airport base at the following address:
- Heli Air Limited
- Gloucester Airport (Staverton)
