Schedule 9 CPL(H) training for paragraph 61.615 (1B) (b) (non-integrated training courses)

 1For paragraph 61.615 (1B) (b), the minimum requirements for an applicant for the CPL(H) who has not completed an integrated training course are as follows:

(a) at least 105 hours of flight training must be completed in no more than 2 types or models of helicopter;

(b) for paragraph (a):

 (i) the first 15 hours must be completed in 1 of the types or models of helicopter mentioned in paragraph (a);

 (ii) at least 20 hours must be completed in each type or model of helicopter mentioned in paragraph (a);

 (iii) at least 40 hours must be completed as dual flight training in any of the types or models of helicopter mentioned in paragraph (a);

 (iv) at least 25 hours must be completed as pilot in command (but not as cross-country flight time) in any of the types or models of helicopter mentioned in paragraph (a);

 (v) the final 30 hours of flight training actually undertaken must be completed within the 3 months immediately before the flight test.

Note   Additional flight training may be undertaken, including tethered helicopter flight training and flight training in additional types of helicopter.

 2Subject to clause 3, for paragraph 1 (a), a type or model of a helicopter means the single-engine helicopter, or 1 of the single-engine helicopters, mentioned by name in a single cell of column 2 of Schedule 14 of the Prescription of aircraft and ratings — CASR Part 61 Instrument, of the Edition that is in force at the time of the particular flight training (the relevant Prescription instrument).

Note 1   The Prescription of aircraft and ratings — CASR Part 61 (Edition 5) Instrument 2018 is the Edition of the prescription instrument that is in force immediately before the end of 31 August 2018. It is a legislative instrument, freely available on the Federal Register of Legislation. If and when a prescription instrument is superceded by a later edition, the earlier edition remains freely available on the Federal Register of Legislation.

Note 2   Although, for Schedule 14 of the relevant Prescription instrument, more than 1 type or model of helicopter in a single cell of column 2 may attract the same type rating on a pilot licence, each type or model of helicopter mentioned in a single cell of column 2 is to be considered a different type or model of helicopter for clause 1.

 3Despite subsection 2, the 2 helicopter types or models mentioned in the first cell of column 2 of Schedule 14 of the relevant Prescription instrument for the Sikorsky Aircraft Corp may be treated interchangeably as a single type or model.

Note   These are the Hughes 269 (all piston engine models) and the Schweizer 300 (all piston engine models).
