##### AMC4 FCL.210; FCL.215 Training course and theoretical knowledge examination *ED Decision 2025/022/R* **SYLLABUS OF THEORETICAL KNOWLEDGE FOR THE GYROPLANE PILOT LICENCE** The following tables contain the syllabi for the theoretical knowledge segment of the training course and for the theoretical knowledge examinations for the GPL. The training and examination should cover aspects related to non-technical skills in an integrated manner, taking into account the particular risks associated with the licence and the activity. The DTO or ATO responsible for the training should check whether all the appropriate elements of theoretical knowledge instruction in the training course have been completed to a satisfactory standard before recommending that the applicant take the examination. The table below indicates where the subjects and examinations are identical to PPL(A) or PPL(H). Entries marked with an ‘X’ indicate that the exam specified in [AMC1 FCL.210; FCL.215](#_DxCrossRefBm2072462214) should be used. <table cellpadding="7" cellspacing="0"> <col/> <col/> <col/> <col/> <tr
