if i currently hold a CPL(H), can i use some of those hours to convert to an airplane license? PPL or CPL?




Thanks

Yes. Scroll through the ref. below. Here are some quotes regarding CPL(A)

(i) An applicant who holds a Commercial Pilot Licence ‑ Helicopter or higher, shall, when applying for the issue of a Commercial Pilot Licence — Aeroplane, be credited with 20 hours of the 80 hour ground school instruction requirement.
(amended 2006/12/14; previous version)

(ii) An applicant who holds a Commercial Pilot Licence - Helicopter or higher, shall, in lieu of completing the written examination Commercial Pilot - Aeroplane (CPAER), obtain a minimum of 60% in the written examination Commercial Pilot Licence (Aeroplane) - Alternate Category (CARAC).
(amended 1999/03/01; previous version)

(i) Commercial Pilot Licence - Helicopter

If an applicant holds a Commercial Pilot Licence ‑ Helicopter, the 200 hours total flight time in aeroplanes required by subparagraph (4)(a)(i) is considered to have been met if the applicant has completed a minimum of 100 hours pilot flight time in aeroplanes, including the 65 hours experience required by subparagraph (4)(a)(ii). In this case, it is not necessary to obtain a Private Pilot Licence — Aeroplane prior to obtaining the Commercial Pilot Licence — Aeroplane.

perfect thanks, do you take a total of flight time between both rotor-craft and fixed wing? or are the 2 times separated when referred to in a resume?

[Adam Oke]

I would put your total time as everything, then break it down respectively on the resume.
