Addon heli rating, does it require a written?

[Eric D]

If you have a private pilot fixed wing license are you required to
take a written test of some type for adding helicopter rating? If
yes, what is the written and is it different then what a non-license
student would have to take?

Eric D

Nope, no written needed for private heli. add-on
to your private ASEL.

of course you have to do a heli written
why would they have a different one for fixed wing otherwise

If you are adding a privite to your private, no written is required.
If you are going from private to commercial, a written is required.

Steve,

"Of course" answers don't cut it. I have a private SEL and when I got
my rotorcraft rating, no written was required.

I got my helo add-on a couple of years ago. No written. However, I was
given 17 pages of questions that could be used in the oral...I might as well
have taken the written. There was navigation, weather (a bunch) airspace,
wt & balance.etc. etc.
