Build a helicopter plan around PRH, CRH, IRH, ATH, SHF, instructor, or conversion code selection, FTN and ID readiness, endorsements or authorization, FAA supplement use, rotorcraft topics, AKTR review, and practical-test follow-through.
FAA helicopter testing is route-specific. We verify the private, commercial, instrument, ATP, sport, instructor, or conversion code first, then align PSI scheduling, rotorcraft study, timed matrix practice, FAA supplement review, and post-test flight preparation.
Helicopter prep should start with the exact FAA test code, then connect matrix timing, rotorcraft-specific scenarios, and AKTR feedback to flight training.
FAA helicopter knowledge tests are administered through PSI, but candidates must choose the correct private, commercial, instrument, ATP, sport, or conversion code.
The current FAA matrix lists PRH Private Pilot Helicopter as 60 questions, age 15, 2.0 hours, and a 70 passing score.
The current FAA matrix lists CRH Commercial Pilot Helicopter as 100 questions, age 16, 2.5 hours, and a 70 passing grade.
The current FAA matrix lists IRH Instrument Rating Helicopter as 60 questions, age 15, 2.0 hours, and a 70 passing score.
Helicopter candidates may need PRH, CRH, IRH, ATH, SHF, a flight instructor code, or a conversion code depending on the certificate or rating sought. HiraEdu verifies FTN, ID, age, endorsement or authorization, and PSI appointment details before study begins.
Helicopter knowledge testing requires more than general pilot review. Prep covers rotor aerodynamics, controls, weight and balance, performance, density altitude, weather, airspace, navigation, regulations, systems, autorotations, dynamic rollover, settling with power, and emergency procedures.
The AKTR guides practical-test review after the PSI exam. We convert missed codes into flight-lesson topics, oral prompts, performance planning, emergency briefings, and instrument-helicopter review when IRH applies.

FAA helicopter knowledge testing is administered through PSI, with different test codes for private, commercial, instrument, ATP, instructor, sport, and conversion routes. The current FAA matrix lists PRH Private Pilot Helicopter with 60 questions, age 15, 2.0 hours, and a 70 passing score; CRH Commercial Pilot Helicopter with 100 questions, age 16, 2.5 hours, and a 70 passing grade; IRH Instrument Rating Helicopter with 60 questions, age 15, 2.0 hours, and a 70 passing score; and ATH Airline Transport Pilot Helicopter (135) with 80 questions, age 21, 3.0 hours, and a 70 passing score. Sport Pilot Helicopter - Simplified Flight Controls appears separately as SHF with 40 questions, age 15, 2.0 hours, and a 70 passing score. HiraEdu prepares helicopter candidates for FTN and ID readiness, instructor endorsement or accepted authorization, PSI scheduling, supplement use, helicopter aerodynamics, rotor systems, performance, weight and balance, weather, airspace, navigation, regulations, autorotation, emergency procedures, instrument procedures when applicable, AKTR code review, and practical-test follow-through.
The current FAA matrix lists PRH as Private Pilot Helicopter.
The current FAA matrix lists PRH as 60 questions with a 2.0-hour time allowance.
The current FAA matrix lists CRH Commercial Pilot Helicopter as 100 questions with a 2.5-hour time allowance.
The current FAA matrix lists IRH Instrument Rating Helicopter as 60 questions with a 2.0-hour time allowance.
HiraEdu verifies the correct helicopter test code, organizes rotorcraft study, runs timed PSI-style practice, reviews FAA supplement use, and turns AKTR codes into practical-test preparation.
Confirm whether the candidate needs PRH, CRH, IRH, ATH, SHF, an instructor code, or a conversion code before scheduling.
Review FTN, photo ID, age requirement, endorsement or accepted authorization, and any retest documents for the specific helicopter code.
Study rotorcraft aerodynamics, systems, performance, W&B, airspace, weather, navigation, regulations, emergency procedures, and instrument operations if required.
After testing, use missed codes to prepare oral explanations, flight planning, emergency scenarios, and practical-test lessons.
Use the guide to self-serve, or talk to a coordinator if you need help mapping timelines, official requirements, or troubleshooting day-of logistics.
