Night rating
The CEFA method !
The CEFA method draws on more than 30 years of experience in helicopter piloting. Our strength lies in our personalised methodology, which combines face-to-face theory lessons with online support, allowing each student to develop their skills at their own pace.
Prerequisites
- Have a valid PPL(H) private pilot licence and hold a valid type rating for the helicopter used;
- Have flown for 100 hours in a helicopter after obtaining the licence;
- Have flown for 60 hours in a helicopter as a pilot in command (PIC);
- Have done 20 hours of flight navigation.
This rating is required in order to fly during the period from sunset to sunrise. In addition, the night rating is intended to familiarise you with an unfamiliar flying environment, the night. This increases your safety if you return later than planned.
