Kenny Keller is writing a beginner's guide to helicopter flying. The book covers training duration, costs, how to pick a flight school, helicopter controls, and what to expect from first lesson to checkride.
Our first published book in about five years. This is for the beginner. This is for the person wanting to learn more about becoming a private pilot helicopter. And just to give you a sample of some of the questions and we want you to send in or below put your questions that you want to know as someone just starting out. Some examples are how long does it take to become a licensed helicopter pilot? What are the prerequisites for helicopter flight training? What are the different types of helicopter licenses? How much does helicopter flight training cost? What's the best approach to selecting a flight school? We have 22 picked ready to go that are in the book. So the book is first draft. These are warm, just out of the printer. I just punched the holes in them. And we're going to put it together for the very first time to see how it looks and decide on what we like and what's going to stay with this current book. So what we want to know from you is put down below questions that if you're brand new and you're interested in becoming a helicopter pilot, put your questions down below so we can make sure that it's covered. Or maybe you're already flying, maybe you already have your license, but you want to just help others and think of a question that maybe you never got answered, that you wanted in the beginning or that you now understand what the answer would be. But to help out others who are just starting out, put those down below. And also book titles, we've been playing with book titles and we have about 20 and we've narrowed it down to a couple. But the ones that we like are kind of long. And I want to keep this very simple. And the book title is pretty important, right? Because we want to make sure that people understand this is for the beginner book for people that want to know more and are just starting out. And then we're also going to help it. It's also going to be kind of a guide. We're going to go beyond just the questions. We're going to go into helicopter specifically and what the controls do and a little bit about aerodynamics and tips on how to get through the rating, like flying three times a week is best for your progress, things like that. So it's all going to be geared towards training, getting started, and then also guiding you through how the training is going to look from the first day you take a license or from the first day you start working for your license to the day that you take your test. We're going to cover everything that helps guide you down that path. So put your comments down below on anything you'd like to see in the book. Again, as newbies, people just starting out. There it is. There's our first draft, and it's gonna get even bigger. It's gonna be a pretty, pretty hefty book. But put your comments down below what you like to see in the book for beginners and any ideas you have for a book title for somebody just starting out. Peace out.
