Phase 2: Operations Manual, Theory Exam and Practical Flight Assessment.

Operations Manual

We provide you with our industry leading Operations Manual template to assist you in writing this CAA required manual. Your Tutor will guide and support you through the process of shaping this to suit your individual business, helping you to take ownership of this important document that forms the basis of how your business will run.

Theory exam

The venue for the exam and assessment is at our own facilities, or it may be possible at other mutually agreeable venues.

The multi-choice theory exam is normally sat on day 2 just before the flight assessment. This cuts down on the amount of travel you have to do.

Note: Should you happen to fail the exam, you will be given an opportunity to re-sit at no extra cost

The Practical Flight Assessment

The Practical Flight Assessment is primarily safety focused and tests a candidate’s flying skill and safe operational ability and will be conducted from our private airfield close to our Cambridgeshire base. This is set against the candidate’s company Operations Manual. Your Tutor will provide you with close support leading up to the assessment, so nothing will come as a surprise to you. Your assessor will be looking for competent and safe flying – not amazing hand flying skills and will quickly put you at your ease, to ensure that you perform to your maximum capability.

Should you happen to fail the assessment, the assessor will debrief you and offer you a further opportunity to re-sit the assessment the same day. There is no resit charge.
