Airplane Pilots who already hold Private, Commercial, ATP or CFI Ratings in fixed-wing aircraft can earn an "Add-On" rating in a helicopter. Those pilots are not required to take the FAA Commercial Helicopter written exam and the minimum number of total required dual training hours is reduced.

Requirements
• Log a minimum of 30 hours, 20 dual and 10 solo
• Hold a valid FAA private pilot certificate
• Attain at least a Third Class Medical
• Pass an FAA practical test
