7 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 7 of 38

8 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 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 Instructor Limitations Constraints and limitations on Instructors during training are detailed in the Company Operations Manual. Page 8 of 38

9 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: 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 Max Gust spread Max Gusts Visibility Min viz for upper air work Min viz for airfield work Cloudbase Min for upper air work Min for circuits Min for low level manoeuvres 25 knots 15 knots 30 knots 5 kms Helicopter to be visible to ATC 1,000ft 750 ft 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 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. Page 9 of 38

10 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 Certificate iv Copy CPL Test & Application Form The format for these records is shown in Part 1 Appendix Student Records will be subjected to annual audits as defined in the Company Organisational Management Manual 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 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 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 Page 10 of 38

11 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 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 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 Certificate 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. Page 11 of 38

12 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 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 STANDARDS & PERFORMANCE isation 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 s The standards expected of students are detailed below in 2.3 Performance s. Page 12 of 38

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 s 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 s 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 s below without prompting. Test tolerances are from time to time specified by the Authority and are currently contained in s Document 03 (H). They are reproduced here for ease of reference.

35 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 Page 35 of 38

36 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 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 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 Instrument Flying Progress Check Instructors will select four 15 minute blocks of manoeuvres from exercises and require the student to demonstrate their ability as if under test conditions 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. Page 36 of 38

38 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 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. Page 38 of 38
