Theoretical night flight training

The theoretical training is taught by our flight instructors, covers night flight specific topics and lasts at least five hours.

The theoretical part comprises topics as:

• Air law
• Anatomy of the eye
• Night vision, human factors
• Flight procedures, flight planning
• Emergencies, limitations
• Dangers

Practical night flight training

Practical training includes 10 hours of simulated instrument flight, 5 hours of night flight and 5 circuits alone on board. The training must be completed in a maximum period of 6 months.

Night flight training is mandatory for helicopter professional pilot candidates and can be combined with CPL training. However, the mandatory 5 flight hours are not part of the 30-hour CPL module, but are accounted separately.
