Kenny Keller is taking bookings for September final approach courses on the R44 helicopter. Four checkrides are done, two more scheduled for August. The aircraft has 60 hours since rebuild and gets inspected by EMS mechanics every other week. Call Heather at 574-767-1797 to book.
Alright, gonna do a quick video about September. We're opening up final approach courses for September. Gonna make it fast because Heather's holding the iPhone by hand. No fancy tripods or nothing. Her arms are gonna get tired. So we did two in May, we did two and now. This isn't right. Wait a minute, when did we do the first two? June. Anyway, we've done four final approach course checkrides since the R44 arrived. So we did Todd's initial commercial, Cameron's initial private. We did a CFI initial for Robert, we just completed a CFI add on for Rich. All four checkrides went great. We have two more scheduled for August. We have a gentleman coming from Florida and we have a gentleman coming from Houston, Texas. So now we've got Maine, New Mexico, Florida, Texas and wherever else I'm forgetting. So here's the point. It's working out really well. The aircraft now has 60 hours on it since the rebuild. We do one every other week. The in between week our mechanics come in, we have two EMS mechanics, they're full time EMS guys working on aircraft, working on multimillion dollar machines. They come in every other week on our week off. So we're doing hogs work, taking care of customers, preparing videos. Mechanics come in, take a look at it. So we have a breather every other week. So we're opening up September. Now we have one gentleman on the books coming for not a final approach course. He's coming for our five hour two and a half day R44 course because he wants to just come spend some time in the R44. So no checkride involved. That is September 4, 5 and 6. The rest of September is open. Now we've got a couple of guys talking about coming, but show me the money as they say, right? First come, first serve. So we're just making this quick video today to announce the fact that we're opening up September schedule for final approach courses. Since the one guy is just doing a two and a half day, just familiarization R44, we can do two FECs in September. Meaning you need to get a check ride finished and everybody that's come here, they've all had their requirements done. And what's the problem? Getting on the schedule with their instructor. Aircraft's down, out of maintenance, they don't have an available examiner. It's the same story, that does not change. So if you're new to our videos and you haven't heard this, I've been using the Same examiner for 22 years. You get a Hold of us. Hey, I'm trying to get this checkride done. I'm ready, but I can't get it. The instructor, I can't get the aircraft, blah, blah, blah. It's a text to my examiner. Hey, can you do a checkride? September 15th, I got a CFI out on. Great. Sure. Oh, I can do this. Dave said, great. Boom. We put it on the schedule. We get you scheduled, and we do some zooms to get your mind fresh before you come out. That's worked perfectly because we get that chance one on one. We connect, we go through your logbook, make sure you really do have the requirements. I kind of give you the. Oh, the spiel on how to prepare for our examiner, which is very easy. It's called the pts, and that's what he'll tell you. The pts. Until it becomes the acs, which he says we're still a ways away for the acs, so we can get you done. And here's the other beauty, okay? 60 hours on the aircraft, it's been flawless. I have gotten to really like this aircraft. Everybody that's came here to do a pre flight, they go. When they open up the panels, they go, oh, my God. This is the cleanest R44 I've ever flown. Right? Because we know what some aircraft look like out there, right? Not all aircraft are taken care of necessarily as well as they should be. And everybody's impressed. They're like, we got the couches over there. Maintenance logbooks are right here. Our oil fire extinguisher, paper towels, our log books, Poh two couches, a table. We sit down, go through the paperwork, do what we need to do. Everything is right here. We don't have to go search, we don't have to go chase. Nobody's on the schedule but you. We're catering to you. Boom, out the door, our guys show up with fuel, like fire and ems. You call them, three minutes later, boom, they're here. No tower. Slow traffic most of the time, right into the pattern to get to do what we need to do. Flying, fly over half an hour for a check with our examiner, get you done, fly back, send you home. So get ahold of Heather at 574-767-1797. We have two available spots for September. We're not booking October yet because we're not sure where we'll be just yet. Maybe here, maybe somewhere else. So two for September. 574-767-1797. Give Heather a call, Give her a text, let her know where you're at kind of what you're looking for, and we're not even going to make you. Oh, schedule a zoom next week. Blah, blah, blah. Screw that. If you're serious, you want to get out here, get you right to my cell phone Number, direct. We'll FaceTime real quick. Jump on a zoom. Take me 10, 15 minutes to evaluate where you're at, and boom. Make a plan, and we're done. So couldn't be easier. We can get you done. We've done. Proved it time and time again and haven't had anybody fail since 2005. Pretty good track record on getting your checkrides done. So, 5, 7, 4, 7, 6, 7, 1797, come hook it. We'll hook you up in the R44, get your checkride done. That's it. Peace out. Bye. See you.
