Programme FAQ

Questions before you apply.

Will all my previous helicopter hours be credited?

Not automatically. Credit depends on documentary evidence, recency, licence status and CAAM’s individual assessment.

Can LLFA confirm my exact course before reviewing my logbook?

No. The safe and accurate route can only be defined after reviewing your licence, logbook, ratings and supporting records.

Does LLFA provide student accommodation?

Yes. Student accommodation is available as part of LLFA’s brand-new campus experience. Room type, location, occupancy, availability and current terms should be confirmed with Admissions for your intake.

Where is the training conducted?

LLFA operates from Sultan Azlan Shah Airport in Ipoh, Perak. Admissions will confirm the reporting instructions for your programme and intake.

Are the published duration and hours guaranteed?

No. Published durations and hours describe the current programme structure or an indicative pathway. Progress, examinations, weather, aircraft serviceability, authority requirements and scheduling can affect completion time.

How do I confirm my eligibility?

Contact Admissions with your age, academic qualifications, nationality, medical status and any existing licence or logbook details. LLFA will advise which documents are needed for a formal review.
