Commercial / Instrument Helicopter to Private ASEL
Asked by: NPeper 2662 views Commercial Pilot, FAA Regulations, Helicopter, Private Pilot, Student Pilot
Here's my situation:
- I'm a prior military helicopter pilot and have a Commercial Certificate for Rotorcraft-Helicopter and Instrument Helicopter
- I have an FAA flight physical
I want to work towards my Private Pilot ASEL and understand the written and flying requirements for what I can apply from before to this rating. What I don't understand is:
- Do I need to apply for a student certificate even though I already have a commercial for a different category/class?
- If not, is it just the endorsements in AC 61-65F in my logbook, specifically from Appendix 1, #70?
- It's been almost 2 years since my last flight in helicopter, do I need to do anything else before I can solo? I read something about a flight review or if there are any requirements to keep my commercial certificate current? I may be way off on this one...
- Is there anything else I'm not thinking of?
Thanks for the help!
