Pilot Training Sunshine Coast

Recreational Pilot Licence

The Recreational Pilot Licence, RPL(H), allows you to fly privately in light helicopters in a designated area. The CASA minimum number of hours for this course is 25, however most students prefer to have a few extra hours to hone their skills.

Controlled aerodrome and navigation endorsements may be added to the RPL(H) taking the minimum hours to 32 hours flight time. This course includes 2 hours instrument flight time and 7 hours flight navigation.

The skill level to fly a helicopter is quite high. Most students, therefore upgrade to either private or commercial licences. Helitec does not offer Recreational Pilot Licence Courses.
