Type Ratings

Bell Jetranger at Northumbria Helicopters LimitedHaving gained your helicopter licence, you will be limited to the type of helicopter that you have trained on. There may come a time when you want to take more passengers, or you require more speed and comfort.
Northumbria Helicopters provide conversion courses onto a range of helicopter types. We are a CAA-approved Type Rating Training Organisation (TRTO), which allows us to train pilots to fly other types of helicopter.
The conversion course is designed to familiarise the pilot with the differences in aerodynamics, mechanics, technology, operation and performance, together with an understanding of the differences in emergency procedures.
The course requires a minimum of between 2 and 5 hours flight training which is dependent on the helicopter type(s) you already fly. The time that you will require depends very much on your individual progress and your levels of experience.
Our instructor’s aim is to ensure you fly the type safely and with confidence. You will then be ready for your test with a CAA approved examiner.
Remember you will need to take a Proficiency Check (PC) test annually on each type that you fly with one of our examiners to maintain currency.
