Chapters
Hey, it's Kenny with helicopter online ground school, and I want to cover a couple of questions for you today that are for the beginner or somebody who's thinking about entering helicopter training or starting helicopter training, but you haven't started yet. You're just kind of doing research, wondering what the helicopter online ground school is all about. So we're going to go through there. I just got an email from a gentleman who had five different questions and he asked, he said in the email, I don't have any background with flying and pilot education. What are the details of this course? Our course is a full fledged online ground school to help you prepare for the practical test. So to get your helicopter rating, you're going to have knowledge areas that you have to go over with your instructor and also with a home study course. And it kind of varies depending on where you go, how much you do on your own, how much you do with an instructor. So our online ground school is geared to help you learn the information to go take the written test or oral test and the flight test. His next question was, what will be included in this course? Our training consists of videos, MP3 downloads, and downloadable study guides. So in our online training, it's compatible with iPhone, iPad, smartphone, laptop, desktop, iPad, whatever the case is. Our system is new, just developed in the last year, so no matter what device you have, you can login to the training videos, access the MP3 downloads and the downloadable study guides. The videos are not Downloadable, but the MP3 files are, which a lot of people are like those for, like listening in the car on the way, driving to their lesson, or they put it in their MP3 player while they're on, working out on the treadmill or whatever the case may be. This next question was, how long will it take to complete this course? That depends on any one individual. The private membership has over 13 hours of video. The commercial has over 8 hours of video. And I have to mention that the private is included with the commercial. So private is 13 hours, commercial is another 8 hours on top of that. Because everything you learn at the private, you have to know it to commercial, but know it to a higher standard. And then for the certified flight instructor membership, that has over 15 hours of video. So it depends on which membership you're going for and it depends on how much time you can put in per day to study. So you can kind of do the math and figure if you can do an hour a day, you could do it in a few weeks. If you wanted to hit it harder, you could do it faster. If you only log in once a week, that's going to take you a while to get through the training. Then his next question was, will this include practical training with the helicopter? And the answer is that is no. This is only ground knowledge. The dual aircraft training that you need to complete can be at any flight school of your choice. Depending on where you live, you can find a flight school somewhere nearby. Again, you're going to do the duel and the aircraft. At the flight school of your choice, you'll do some ground school with your instructor. Our training is in addition to whatever training you get with your instructor, something you can access 24 hours a day, seven days a week from any device, which is what makes it so cool. Then his last question, will there be any other charges until I get certification and fly with helicopter? As of the making of this video, no, there are no other charges from us. Right now it's unlimited membership. It's going to change in the future. We're going to switch to a subscription based, possibly monthly, possibly yearly, where once a year we have to renew. Right now it's unlimited. The practical training aircraft instructor charges, required books, checkride fees, those things you will have to pay at your flight school. So, you know, I get this question where somebody wants to know, they'll say, hey, do I get a license? After I go through your ground school videos? No, you still have to complete the practical training in the aircraft, which we have a playlist down below this video there's a playlist link where you can go to 16 videos on what does it cost? How many hours do you have to have? Has a lot of the basic video answers or video responses to video responses to commonly asked questions.
