Helicopter pilot licence

A helicopter pilot must hold a helicopter pilot licence.

For helicopter pilots, requirements and priviliedges are broadly similar to those for pilots on an aeroplane. However, other requirements are made, such as the number of flight hours.

Further information on flight time requirements, as well as other conditions of theoretical and practical study, for the issue of a helicopter pilot licence can be found in the EASA publication (EU) 1178/2011.
