#11 What it feels like just after the Helicopter Check Ride

Numbers counting. All right, Kenny, with helicopter, airline, ground school in the moment video, they just shut down the aircraft. We went live, and then the feed just went out. They literally were just crawling out as we come over there and stuck the microphone in our faces. So Jacob just passed his commercial checkride. So for anybody that is preparing, and they're all worried about that checkride. Well, how does it feel? Move her a little closer, Heather. How does it feel when you're done?

Completely relieved.

How does it feel an hour later since you guys just flew back?

Tired, exhausted. Very excited. Glad we got it done.

Awesome. I know you want to go Relax. I'm not gonna keep you out here. It's cold. Gary said you did use. Gary works exclusively with you since you got here. And we'll let Gary give his. Let everybody know kind of what they did once you got here. But you did prepare with the ground school videos before coming, Right? And I know that Heather heard you guys doing ground, and she said, wow, sounds like he's in pretty good shape. The first day she said that just listening to the room, she could tell that you were doing really well. So the videos did help.

Yeah.

So what I did is before coming here, I went through all the videos twice.

Awesome.

And I felt a whole lot more prepared to give Gary that mock check ride the day before, and then today with the examiner, gave him short, crisp, concise answers. And it was exactly what you said.

It's the.

The private check ride on steroids. And we nailed it.

Brought it home.

Nice. I'm glad to hear you say that. Love my train of thought. Real quick. So that's awesome. The ones that do the best tell us they go through the videos two or three times. So you're not the first one that has said that. So proof, by going through it and going through it, and I know that you guys didn't have a lot of hours yet, some hours in your prep, but not really a lot you got. When did you get here?

Last Thursday we started.

And this is Wednesday, a week later. All right, well, we're gonna go. We're gonna go over to Gary and let Gary just give you his insight on bringing in a student from off the street that's been going through the videos and what he did, getting the student ready to head to checkride.

Well, it's just been a good time training Jacob, and he was prepared, watching the videos, so we just had to verify that, you know, to get him signed off for the examiner. And once again, the examiner said that he performed very impressive in the oral and in the flight portion of the practical checkride he had. He had no complaints whatsoever, and he was just happy with what we brought him and signed him off. He has his temporary certificate for commercial.

And this is what's all. This is what everything we do is all about right now. The day when you're done, you got certificate in hand. All right, well, hey, any last parting words you guys want to add? Thank you. Thank you.
