Proficiency Check (PC)

Proficiency check for helicopter pilots.

Check flight

Professional check – tailored to you

A Proficiency Check (PC) is the practical check flight required to renew or extend your class or type rating on a helicopter.

At Arlanda Helicopter we perform PCs on the Robinson R44, Bell 206 and AS350 with experienced PC examiners, in the Stockholm area.

We make sure the process is smooth, professional and tailored to your experience level and operational environment.

Purpose

What we cover

The proficiency check confirms that you still have the knowledge and skills required to fly the helicopter safely and in accordance with current regulations. The goal is not just to "pass the check" – it's to make sure you feel confident in the cockpit.

Procedures

Normal & abnormal

Review of normal and abnormal cockpit procedures, tailored to type and operational environment.

Emergencies

Handling a crisis

Practical exercises where we train emergency procedures and decision-making under pressure.

Navigation

Planning & execution

Flight planning, navigation and communication throughout the mission.

Safety

Decisions & flight safety

Focus on CRM, decision-making and a solid flight-safety culture.

Validity

12 months

Most class and type ratings are valid for 12 months. We recommend booking your PC well before the expiry date to avoid any break in your rating.
