SPECIFIC CASES
If you already hold a PPLA aircraft pilot license with 60 hours of pilot-in-command (PIC), training is reduced to 39 hours of flight time.
Type Rating
Each helicopter has its specificities. When you acquire your pilot license, you have at least one type rating. To progress and fly on other types, you must pass additional type ratings, generally 5 hours of flight, which will then be added to your license. At GreenBees we offer R22, R44 and AS350 B2 qualifications.
