chopter Posted August 14, 2006 Report Share Posted August 14, 2006 Does anyone here know if there is any schools in the US that offer the JAA ATPL(H) as distance learning, without me having to travel to europe to take the exams? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chopter Posted August 14, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 14, 2006 Helicopter Adventures, Inc. in Titusville, Fl www.heli.com I looked at that school, however they don't offer the JAA as "Distance Learning", only as full time classroom class.

heliman500 Posted August 15, 2006 Report Share Posted August 15, 2006 Good Question...I have done extensive research in this matter. I live here in the States and one day will be returning to the U.K. where i will have to do all the JAA exams. From what i have found out so far is that there is no where that can offer the exams without going back to Europe. There are several companies in the U.K. that offer the distant learning courses which can be studied here but will still require a 2 week brush-up course and a few visits to the CAA office in the U.K. to sit the exams There are three companies that offer any form of JAA training here in the USA1. Helicopter Adventures2. Orlando Flight Training3. Naples Air centre Helicopter Adventures do not offer any distant learning courses and even if they did it would still require a trip back to Europe to sit the exams. However they are approved to give the JAA practical training and checkride. Orlando Flight trainig offers some form of training but is associated with a company in the U.K. called Cabair. I believe it will still require a trip to the U.K. Check out: http://www.flyoft.com/helicopter_training.php From what i believe the only company that is approved to proctor JAA ground exams is Naples air centre but I dont think they want to deal with any helicopter associated exams. Check out: http://www.nacgroundschool.com/distance_learning.htm More information can be found at: http://www.bestaviation.net/art_jaa_conversion.asp I hope this helps...If anyone has more to add to this i would be interested.

chopter Posted August 19, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 19, 2006 Heliman500, Thanks for the reply!It sure would be nice if we did not have to travel to England (or Europe) just to sit the exams, but for now it looks like the only option...Thanks for your help.
