» TRAINING THEORY


A pass in the helicopter theory examination is a pre-requisite to obtaining a licence. Although not very complex there is a large volume of material which must be learnt. Theory training is undertaken in conjunction with Advanced Flight Theory (AFT), with whom we have shared a relationship for over ten years. We will order the theory books from AFT at the appropriate time during your training - typically within the first ten hours. AFT are recognised throughout Australia and the Asia Pacific region as specialists in the field of aviation theory.

The following subjects are included in the theory training syllabus:

  • Meteorology
  • Navigation
  • Air Law
  • Aerodynamics
  • Operations, Performance and Planning
  • Aircraft General Knowledge
  • Human Factors

There are two ways for individuals to complete their theory training:

  • Self Study
  • Full-time ground school with AFT

Self study has proven to be the most popular as it enables students to study at their own pace.. If any problem areas arise during studying, we are equipped to provide ‘in-house’ assistance. However, if you’re having difficulties finding time to study, or having major issues understanding some topics, we can arrange for students to undertake intensive full -time training directly with AFT.
