INTRODUCTION
Cambridge Helicopters Limited trading as Aeromega Helicopters (herein after referred
to as “the Company”) is a privately owned limited company which operates from
Cambridge City Airport. The Company is required by the Civil Aviation Authority
and the European Aviation Safety Agency (together “the Authorities”) to maintain this
Training Manual in respect of CPL Modular Courses.
PART 1 THE TRAINING PLAN
1.1 COURSE AIM
The aim of each course is to train PPL (H) licence holders to the level of proficiency
necessary for the issue of a Single Engine Commercial Pilot’s Licence [CPL (H) ] but
not including the instrument rating or any further specialization (e.g. aerial work
activities).
1.2 PRE-ENTRY REQUIREMENTS
Before commencing a CPL(H) modular course an applicant shall meet the
requirements stated in CAP 804, FCL Part L Appendices, Appendix K:
a) Have attained the age of 17 years (minimum age for the issue of a CPL(H) is 18
years.
b) Hold of a PPL(H) issued in accordance with ICAO Annex 1.
c) Have completed 155 hours flight time as pilot of helicopters, including 50 hours as
PIC of which 10 hours shall be cross country (105 hours as Pilot in Helicopters if
holder of a CPL(A), 135 hours as Pilot in Helicopters if holder of a PPL(A).
d) Have competed the CPL(H) theoretical knowledge syllabus at an approved ATO
and have passed the CPL(H) theoretical knowledge examinations.*
e) In the event that the student is not a native English speaker, they must present
evidence of assessment by an accredited language school of having attained at
least level 4 English language skills within the previous 12 months.
f) Hold a minimum of a class two medical, although a class one is recommended as
this will be necessary for the issue of a CPL(H).
* See 1.5 Timescales below

Page 8 of 38
1.3 CREDITS FOR PREVIOUS EXPERIENCE
Credits for previous experience are detailed in CAP 804 FCL Flight Crew Licensing:
Mandatory Requirements, Policy and Guidance (“CAP 804”).
1.4 TRAINING SYLLABI
The flying training course for the CPL course is detailed in CAP 804 Sec 4, Part L,
App. 3 Section K, para. 8. It is assumed that the course will be completed on one type
of helicopter.
The Theoretical Knowledge Module of the CPL is not provided by the Company and
is not therefore included in this manual.
1.5 TIME SCALES
Each course consists of a minimum of 30 hours of flight training in one continuous
course. It is recommended that each CPL Modular Course be completed in a period
not exceeding 5 weeks. At the student’s request the course may be spread over a
period of up to 12 months. When scheduling flying training, it must be borne in mind
that the issue of a Commercial Pilot’s licence must be completed within a period of 36
months from the date of their successful completion of the theoretical knowledge
exams.
1.6 TRAINING PROGRAMME
Wherever possible, the flying training programme will be conducted in the order, and
of the duration, specified in the Training Programme as shown in Part 2 Briefing &
Air Exercises. Instructors may vary the format to accommodate inclement weather or
aircraft availability but should consider the effect of addressing subjects out of the
prescribed order whilst endeavouring to maximise the benefit derived by the student
from each training session.
1.6.1 Each lesson will commence with a classroom briefing of up to one hour, followed by a
flight which is generally expected to last approximately as detailed in the Flight
Training Programme, although instructors may exercise discretion in extending or
curtailing flights as they see fit.
1.6.2 Instructor Limitations
Constraints and limitations on Instructors during training are detailed in the Company
Operations Manual.
CAMBRIDGE HELICOPTERS t/a AEROMEGA HELICOPTERS CPL MODULAR TRAINING MANUAL
Issue No: EASA 2
Date: Aug 2015
Valid from: Issue
Cancelling Issue No:1
Page 9 of 38
1.6.3 Maximum Student Training Times
Maximum duty period in any one day 8:00
Maximum duration of any one dual flight 2:30
Maximum flying hours in any day/night 4:00
Maximum number of flights in any day/night; 3
Minimum rest period between consecutive flights 1:00
Minimum rest period between consecutive duty periods. 10:00
1.6.4 Bad Weather Constraints
Subject to the limitations contained in the Company Operations Manual, absolute
limits for CPL training are as follows:
Dual Training
Wind
Max Average wind speed 25 knots
Max Gust spread 15 knots
Max Gusts 30 knots
Visibility
Min viz for upper air work 5 kms
Min viz for airfield work Helicopter to be visible to ATC
Cloudbase
Min for upper air work 1,000ft
Min for circuits 750 ft
Min for low level manoeuvres Helicopter to be visible to ATC
Notwithstanding the above, instructors should ensure that conditions are suitable
for the individual student and exercise. There is no obligation to fly just because
conditions are within limits. As a Pilot-in-Command, the instructor must be
satisfied that the lesson may be carried out safely and that the student will derive
benefit from the flight in the conditions then prevailing.
1.7 TRAINING RECORDS
1.7.1 Training records will be kept in an individual student’s folder and be maintained by
Instructors. Folders include flight training records and are ‘open’ to inspection by
students. Record folders are to be scrutinised and cross checked to the student’s log
book after each flight and then certified by the Head of Training at the end of the
course prior to test.
Instructors will log flights as P1 – Pilot in command.
Students will log flights as P U/T – Pilot under training.

Record folders are to be kept under secure conditions by Operations staff when not in
use. Following completion of training, records are to be retained for at least 3 years
under EASA before being destroyed.
The following records are kept:
i. Initial assessment form
ii. Individual flight reports
iii Course Completion Certificate
iv Copy CPL Test & Application Form
The format for these records is shown in Part 1 Appendix 3.
1.7.2 Student Records will be subjected to annual audits as defined in the Company
Organisational Management Manual.
1.7.3 Students & Instructors are to record all flights in their Pilot Log Book as soon as
practicable after each flight. Students will record all flights as “Pilot Under Training”
in the P2 column, with the relevant exercise listed in remarks.
Instructors will record the flights as Pilot in Command in the P1 column and the
relevant exercise will be listed in remarks. Instructors shall include CPL instruction in
their Approved Training monthly totals in their log book.
Separate attendance records are not appropriate or necessary on CPL courses.
1.8 SAFETY TRAINING
1.8.1 Individual Responsibilities
The Head of Training has overall responsibility for safety training on the CPL (H)
course and is responsible for ensuring that each student receives adequate safety
training.
Individual flight instructors are responsible for ensuring that their students complete
safety training on Simulated Emergencies and Malfunctions and that all the specified
Essential Exercises are covered as specified below.
Prior to beginning the course, each student shall receive a safety briefing on the use of
both helicopter and hangar fire extinguisher equipment. Students are not permitted to
drive, or refuel from, the Company Bowser unless they have received the Company
training course (which falls outside the scope of this manual).
Students are responsible for observing all safety training procedures and complying
with all safety requirements once they have been briefed.
1.8.2 Simulated Emergencies And Malfunctions
Emergency drills and simulated malfunctions are to be fully briefed before introducing
them in flight. Once these procedures have been demonstrated and learned, the
CAMBRIDGE HELICOPTERS t/a AEROMEGA HELICOPTERS CPL MODULAR TRAINING MANUAL
Issue No: EASA 2

Valid from: Issue
Cancelling Issue No:1
Page 11 of 38
instructor will brief the student to expect simulated emergencies or malfunctions at
any time. Instructors are to ensure that the flight regime and conditions are suitable to
ensure a safe outcome following the required manoeuvres. Generally, no more than 3
such simulated emergencies should be included in any one flight although students
should expect more when under dummy test conditions. Frequency and timings should
be varied to provide a general element of surprise. The Instructor will however be
responsible for ensuring that any action taken will not endanger the aircraft or those on
board whilst endeavouring to be as realistic as possible.
Prior to being presented for test, the student will verbally demonstrate complete
knowledge of all emergency procedures listed in the Emergency Procedures Check
List contained in Part 1 Appendix 3 and will indicate their understanding of each listed
item by signing where designated.
1.8.3 Essential Exercises
The Emergency Procedures Checklist is contained in Part 1 Appendix 3. Those
denoted * on the checklist are Essential Exercises and must be simulated during the
course.
1.9 TESTS & EXAMINATIONS
1.9.1 Dummy Test
Students should expect to spend approximately 1 hour at the end of the course in a
dummy test, prior to being put forward to examination. An applicant for test shall have
satisfactorily completed all of the required ground and flying training. Should
performance be below the required standard, the process outlined in Training
Effectiveness below will be invoked. Upon reaching the required standard, the student
will be recommended for test by the instructor partially completing and signing the
Course Completion Certificate.
1.9.2 CPL Test
The CPL Modular Course Test (CPL Test) is in addition to the course training time.
On completion of the flying training the Head of Training will authorise the student to
take a CPL Test with a CAA nominated Examiner who has not participated in the
student’s instruction. During the CPL Test, the student shall demonstrate the ability to
fly a Skills Test as from time to defined by the Authorities to the standard required of
a CPL (H). This must be conducted safely, within the manufacturer’s limitations, and
within the test tolerances from time to time specified by the Authority. The student
shall also demonstrate complete knowledge of the helicopter’s normal and emergency
procedures.
In the event of a skills test failure, the examiner will mandate minimum additional
training required on the Examination Report; a copy of which is to be retained in the
student records. The Head of Training will be responsible for ensuring that such
minimum training is completed before the student is recommended for a re-test.

1.10 TRAINING EFFECTIVENESS
The standards of performance required at each stage of the course are outlined in Part
2 section 2.3 of this manual. Instructors are responsible for assessing student progress
in accordance with these standards.
Instructors are also responsible for identifying any student whose progress is
unsatisfactory at the earliest opportunity. The concerns are to be communicated to the
student during debriefing of the exercise and this conversation is to be recorded in the
student’s record. Should a further exercise reveal unsatisfactory performance, a
discussion between the student, the Instructor and the Head of Training should be held
to outline the problem formally.
After re-briefing and re-training, the relevant exercises should be repeated. Should the
student continue to perform unsatisfactorily, the Head of Training will issue a written
warning to that effect. The Head of Training and the student will then discuss the
situation and agree a way forward. Should a change of Instructor be considered
advantageous, the Head of Training will arrange for an alternative Instructor to
continue the training. The position will be reviewed after each lesson. If student
performance improves, the Head of Training will be responsible for identifying any
deficiencies in training which may have led to unsatisfactory performance. If no
improvement is evident the Head of Training will issue written notice to suspend
training whereupon the Student, Instructor and the Head of Training will meet and
agree the best way forward. A note must be made of each conversation and a copy of
any written warnings given must be retained in the Student’s Training Record.
No student should experience more than 2 changes of instructor.
1.11 STUDENT CONDUCT & DISCIPLINE
Student conduct must be of a satisfactory level at all times. Aggressive, anti-social or
abusive behaviour towards Instructors, staff or other customers will be grounds to
discontinue training without further notice or refund of pre-paid fees. The student will
be informed in writing that training will cease with immediate effect. Written reports
of any such incident will be recorded in the student’s file.
1.12 STANDARDS & PERFORMANCE
Standardisation
The Head of Training will monitor Instructor performance to ensure standardization of
instruction. This will include examining the student or flying one hour’s flight on
each course. Any debrief points raised shall be circulated to other Instructors. Periodic
meetings of Instructors may be arranged by the Head of Training to discuss any
training or standardization issues.
Student Standards
The standards expected of students are detailed below in 2.3 Performance Standards.

2.3 Performance Standards
The lesson plans show each exercise broken into two, four or eight segments of 15
minutes. As a general guideline the student will be expected to learn the exercise
during the first 50 % of the segments for each exercise, and be able to demonstrate each
exercise to a the standard required in a PPL (H) skill test as from time to time defined
by the Authorities (usually in the relevant Standards Document). On completion of the
second 50% of the segments for a given exercise, the student shall demonstrate the
ability to complete the exercise to the standard required in a CPL (H) skill test as from
time to time defined by the Authorities (usually in the relevant Standards Document)
albeit with some verbal prompting from the instructor.
During the Skill Test Revision (Dummy Tests) phase, the student should be able to
perform all the manoeuvres safely and within the test tolerances specified in 2.3
Performance Standards below without prompting.
Test tolerances are from time to time specified by the Authority and are currently
contained in Standards Document 03 (H). They are reproduced here for ease of
reference.
VFR Flight and Night Flight Limits:
Height: Generally +/- 100 feet
Simulated Emergency +/- 150 feet
Hovering IGE +/- 2 feet
Heading/Tracking radio aids:
Normal Ops +/- 10 °
Simulated Emergencies +/- 15°
Speed: Take off/Approach +/- 5 kts
Generally +/- 10 kts

2.4 COURSE STRUCTURE, THEORETICAL & FLIGHT TRAINING INTEGRATION
Instructors shall take care to cross relate theoretical knowledge to flying training
wherever possible. It is important that the student is familiar with the normal operation
of systems before learning emergency procedures associated with that system’s failure.
Consequently instructors must ensure that they teach normal operations before
addressing system failures.
The course can be divided into 4 phases: - General Handling, Navigation, Instrument
Flying and Night. Typically the Navigation section will be addressed first, General
Handling second and Instrument Flying last. However there will be some overlap
between phases as instructors will address any handling issues which become apparent
during the Navigation Section. Weather may also prevent certain exercises from being
completed on a given day, in which case instructors are free to rearrange the order of the
syllabus to suit prevailing conditions. Instrument Flying manoeuvres should not be
attempted until the student has demonstrated the ability to fly such manoeuvres visually.
Night Flying may be conducted according to prevailing conditions but should be
integrated with the Instrument Flying elements.
2.5 STUDENT PROGRESS
Instructors should constantly assess student progress. If an Instructor has concerns
about a student’s capabilities, these should be raised with the student immediately and a
note to that effect placed on the student’s record. If a student has completed more than
15 of the minimum 30 hours’ flying training but is not, in the opinion of the instructor,
making adequate progress, a three way conversation between the Head of Training, the
student and the instructor should take place to advise the likely number of hours of
further training necessary to reach the required standard.
2.6 INSTRUCTIONAL METHODS
Each lesson shall consist of a one-to-one pre-flight brief of up to one hour followed by a
flight of the duration specified. A post flight debrief shall be given immediately after
landing which will identify any problems that the student may have encountered. The
flight record shall record the debrief items specifically and the possible solutions
suggested. The student record should also record when a student reaches test standard
for a given manoeuvre/task.
Instructors should stick to the defined syllabus wherever possible, although departure
from the syllabus is permitted where operational requirements so dictate.
Solo flights are not included in the syllabus for CPL training.
2.7 PROGRESS TESTS
Half way through each phase, progress test are to be conducted after completing 50% of
the flight training in that phase. Students should also expect to fly Navigation, General

Handling and Instrument Flying Dummy Test sorties shortly before being put forward
for their CPL test. Instructors will play the role of an examiner Such tests will follow
the CPL test format.
2.7.1 General Handling Progress Check
Instructors will select four 15 minute blocks of exercises no.s 4-17 as listed in the
Student Progress Syllabus Report that have already been covered, and require the
student to demonstrate their ability as if under test conditions.
2.7.2 Navigation Progress Check
This will typically involve Dead Reckoning, Track Crawl and VOR navigation but may
include any elements of exercises 28 to 31b. At the Instructor’s discretion the exercise
and route should be selected to provide maximum benefit to the student who must
demonstrate their ability as if under test conditions.
2.7.3 Instrument Flying Progress Check
Instructors will select four 15 minute blocks of manoeuvres from exercises 18-26 and
require the student to demonstrate their ability as if under test conditions.
2.7.4 Debriefing
Following a Progress Check, the Instructor will debrief the student with an assessment
of performance and an indication of progress still required to meet the designated
standards. The examiner will complete a CPL Course Flight Report in the format
contained in Part 1 Appendix 3.
