Basic Turbine Knowledge (BTK) rating – pilot syllabi changes We have separated the BTK pilot syllabus into two separate syllabi for Aeroplane and Helicopter respectively. The existing syllabus for Subject 64 has been amended to focus on Aeroplane and a completely new syllabus for Helicopter Subject 65 has been produced. We have also provided a marked-up version of the Aeroplane syllabi so participants can easily see the changes. Please note that these syllabi will be part of the next revision of Advisory Circular AC61-10, Pilot Licences and Ratings – Type Ratings. CAA expects to publish the new revision of AC61-10 on the 1st of November 2024. Until then, these syllabi are provided to enable flight training providers to amend their training material before the update occurs in November. Please continue to use the current version of AC61-10 for the syllabus for BTK examinations. Please also note, there may be some minor changes and updates once the next revision of AC61-10 is published in November 2024, but we will try to highlight any further changes at that time. |
