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


Issue No: EASA 2

Date: Aug 2015

Valid from: Issue


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.


Issue No: EASA 2

Date: Aug 2015

Valid from: Issue


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.


Issue No: EASA 2

Date: Aug 2015

Valid from: Issue


of 38

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


Issue No: EASA 2

Date: Aug 2015

Valid from: Issue


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.

6. EMERGENCY PROCEDURES CHECK LIST

The reference source for Emergency Procedures training is to be the latest version of the

Pilot’s Operating Handbook (POH) as carried in the aircraft used for the CPL (H) Modular

course. Students are to ensure that they have read the entire Emergency Procedures Section.

The following checklist is not definitive but should act as an aide-memoire for instructors

when checking student training and understanding.

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.

PART 4 Theoretical Knowledge Instruction

4.1 General

The Theoretical Knowledge component of the CPL (Modular) course is not provided by the

Company. A third party course provider must be used by the student to gain the requisite

Theoretical Knowledge.

4.1.1 Night Flying

(Additionally required unless candidate already holds a Night Rating issued by a recognised

Authority)

The Night Rating requires 5 hours of Theoretical Knowledge Training which requires revision

or explanation of the following:

Lesson 1

Night VMC Minima

Rules about airspace control at night and facilities available

Rules about aerodrome ground, runway, landing site and obstruction lighting.

Lesson 2

Aircraft Navigation Lights and collision avoidance rules

Physiological aspects of night flying and orientation

Dangers of disorientation at night

Lesson 3

Dangers of weather deterioration at night

Instrument systems or functions and errors

Instrument lighting and emergency cockpit lighting

Lesson 4

Map marking for use under cockpit lighting

Practical navigation principles

Radio navigation principles

Lesson 5

Planning & use of safety altitude

Danger from icing conditions, avoidance and escape manoeuvres

4.2 Examination Validity

Prior to commencing flight training with the Company, the student will have obtained passes

in the CPL (H) or ATPL (H) Theoretical Knowledge module and will present written

evidence of such at the start of the course. Evidence of such examination passes from the

Authorities must be presented before the flying course commences. Passes in the relevant

subjects are valid for a period of 36 months from the date of the last examination passed.

Flying training shall be scheduled to ensure that it is completed and the CPL (H) is applied

for, and issued within this period. Instructors will check the expiry dates of such exams prior

to beginning each course.
