EASA CPL(H) Distance Learning Course
A modular self-study program for the EASA CPL(H), in three modules, geared for 250 hours of home study, with a 2-week consolidation period at the CAPT offices. The material itself is not difficult to master, but there is a lot of it, so you should allow about 4 months for the whole process, including taking the exams, based on 6 hours a day, Monday to Friday, but this could be longer or (slightly) shorter, depending on your aptitude, finances, weather, family commitments, etc. (a more realistic figure is 15 study hours per week, which means 6 months).
There are thirteen subjects to be covered, but it may be worth considering taking the ATPL(H), always being aware that there is a time limit within which you must gain enough experience to unfreeze the ATPL(H) subjects (seven years, but three for the IR(H)). If you miss the time limit, you remain at the CPL(H) level and will have to retake the ATPL(H) exams later.
To start the course, you must hold an ICAO PPL(H), and have enough knowledge of maths and physics to understand the course content, although much of what you need is included. It is recommended that you obtain a Class 1 medical, because all the studying in the world is no use unless you pass it. It is also recommended that you obtain 100 flying hours, because the subject matter is better understood if you have some flying experience.
This course also includes a Single Pilot CRM certificate and First Multi-engine Pre-Entry certificate, required before you start your first twin conversion. If you need a flight computer and Jeppesen Student Pilot Manual (for Navigation & Flight Planning) we have arranged a special package price with Pooleys Flight Equipment at £95 plus shipping. For any other products you might require, quote the letters CAPT for a 5% discount.
You will initially receive the course notes. Progress tests (below) should be completed and submitted every week (by post, fax, or email), and you must gain a pass mark of 75%. We are obliged to keep a close eye on your progress, and there is an 18-month window in which to complete your studies. For the support service, we are available on telephone, fax, skype and email, and if we can't give you an immediate answer, we aim to produce a solution within 24 hours.
For those with long distances to travel, the consolidation weeks can be combined, so you only get involved with one set of travel tickets. The consolidation takes place at Wycombe Air park near London, England (the CPL(H) exams can only be taken at Gatwick). Consolidation weeks take place in the last 2 weeks of every month (see Calendar page).
As of early 2013, the exams cost £69 per paper, and can be sat only at Gatwick on designated days (timetable and forms available from here. The full medical is £435. The CAA examiner will extract £691 from you for the skill test. If you get a "partial pass" the resit is £462. If you fail, the retest is another £691. The grant of the licence is £210. The grant or renewal of FRTOL is £63. Additional types are £105 each.
Don't forget accommodation, and that some items required for the course, such as the Jeppesen Manual, Douglas Protractor, Flight Computer, etc. are not included in the course prices, as we figure that students will have their own preferences.
Each module costs £795, including VAT.
If the whole course is purchased at once, the cost is reduced to £1495.
