Consists of 4-7 days of in-class training with one of our instructors.
The following subjects are covered during the course as prescribed by the SACAA:
– Principles of Flight
– Air Law for Remotely Piloted Aircraft
– Meteorology
– RPAS Technical and General
– Flight Planning and Navigation
– Human Factors
– Radiotelephony
​
Pilots who hold an NPL, PPL or CPL, can, however, complete the course in only 3-4 Days. Helivate uses Mock exams throughout the RPL course to ensure that all the students are prepared for their final exam.
​
Practical Training
Practical training consists of a variety of exercises that the student must become proficient before being able to do their final evaluation. Most students are able to master these exercises within a short amount of time. We have the very best instructors with years of experience who will evaluate each person individually and assist them in improving their flying competency.
