CFI Shortage Now & Check-Ride Preparation With 30 Year Aviator Brian Rutledge!

Kenny Keller (Helicopter Line Ground School) discusses recent Wall of Fame additions, member perks (Hogs no-go button, Hogshoodies), and one-on-one checkride preparation offered by operations manager Brian Rutledge — a 30-year aviator and CFI — who authored a private pilot study guide with over 400 possible checkride questions. Keller also relays an industry note: flight schools are booming but face a CFI shortage, so CFI job prospects exist. Contact: Heather (member concierge) at 574-767-1797 and helicopterground.com for signups and specials.

Yeah. Hey Kenny. With Helicopter Line Ground School, Heather is putting up five new pictures on the Hogs Wall of Fame. She is currently doing David Minnis new private pilot addition to the Hogs Wall of Fame. So I am Kenny Keller, creator, creator of Helicopter Land Ground School. This is Heather. She is our member concierge. You can text Heather at 574-767-1797. Heather is there to take care of current members, answer questions for potential members. Somebody looking to sign up. She's got the next one going up. Robert McKenzie, private pilot add on. So while she's sticking that up, we want to mention today we have some one on one special custom offers and we've been changing these up. This is where you work one on one with our operations manager Brian Rutledge. Brian will work with you in addition to your membership where you can go in through the training. Brian can work with you one on one to help you hone that skill prior to the checkride. He's even helped some people with just general questions about their careers as they're getting started because he's a 30 year aviator, CFI in airplanes and helicopters. And people have really enjoyed just even their consultations with Brian just to have him help them move along their path to become a helicopter pilot. And now Heather's gonna put up Eva Rodrick, commercial pilot. I know she sent us a nice email like everybody else that sends us emails. So eva's going up helicopterground.com that's below, that's where you can go check out all of our offers memberships. We're trying to run specials every single month. So this is the last day this month. So tomorrow I'll be starting some new ones. So by texting Heather again at 574-767-1797 Heather can help you whatever direction you need to go. There's self sign up options but then there's the one on one options as well. So next is going up Lloyd Eagle, private pilot again, the Hogs Wall of fame. We love it. We started it three years ago and it's turned into this magnificent wall. If you don't know if you're new to us, once you pass your checkride and you send us in your picture and a few words about your checkride and how Hogs helped you, we put you up on the Hogs Wall of fame and it's become, that's just become something really cool in three years. Yep. So who do we got next? Okay, last one going up today, Brandon. And I hope I don't butcher Brandon's last name, Nagric. Sounds close. Hopefully I didn't butcher that. Too bad. Private pilot going up. So while she's putting that up, I will mention if you go for a one on one special offer, Brian working with you one on one is going to use this right here to ask you questions. When he's working with you one on one, he'll get on the phone with you or Skype or a zoom call, whatever you guys figure out. He's going to be asking you questions from this private pilot study guide written by Brian Rutledge. He put this together with over 400 questions that you could possibly be asked on a checkride. I'll put a link down below for that in the event you're interested in one of these. This is for someone self testing, prepping for a checkride. It's really not for a brand new student. This is for when you're a little further along and you've been studying. You need to start self test testing yourself. So we got to mention also when we when you as a member, when you send us in your picture for the Hogs Wall of Fame, we send you the Hogs no go button. And this is to help us promote pilots making the good decisions. Because we know for a fact people lose their lives in aviation, helicopters and airplanes and otherwise by making bad decisions and flying into bad weather or other bad decisions, weight and balance issues, maintenance issues, whatever the case is. So we created the no go button to help you when you're trying to make that decision about fly or not fly. And you know the right thing to do is stay on the ground. But you got outside pressures pushing you to get home for your son's ball game or your employer's pushing you or whoever when you make that correct decision to stay on the ground, live to fly another day. Helicopterground.com so we send you that as well once you pass your checkride and you send us in your photo for the Hogs Wall of Fame. Yep. And Heather want me to mention Hogshoodies.com is where you get our T shirts and hoodies. They do show up below the YouTube videos, but people don't always catch that. So you can go to Hogshoodies.com for short sleeve tee, long sleeve tee and the ground school hoodies. So we're getting ready for more specials. Tune in over the next month because we're going to do big. We always do a big Halloween special. We're doing some giveaways I think I'm going to give away. This was my Brand new private pilot study guide that we had a video earlier in the week when I opened it up to show everybody the proper copy with Brian's signature and the ISBN number on the back. I think I'm gonna give this away. So I opened it. It hasn't been beat up. All I do is opened it and showed a signature. We'll wrap it back up nice and we'll do a giveaway and I'll send somebody this new private pilot study guide coming up in the next couple weeks. Yeah, famous. Doing some live events. So did I cover everything we wanted to cover? I think so. Did you get Twiggy in the beginning of the shot, the new Hogs mascot Twiggy getting chilly out. Oh yeah. Long sleeve tee. Did I mention that? Yeah you did. There is now a long sleeve tee available on the. This is a hoodie but we have a long sleeve tee available on the hogshoodies.com yep. So other than that I guess we got stuff to do. We're in here for the first time in a while catching up after crazy world being what it is. So don't forget Heather is your member concierge. You can text or call Heather at 574-767-1797.

Over and above that we have some one on one special offers and Daniel is our custom offer specialist. Heather can help you but also Daniel can as well for our professional pilot package and she can get you scheduled to talk to Daniel and he can go a little more in depth and there's always, we're always kind of changing up and seeing what's working for our customers.

We need to get some more new members coming in. The world's kind of crazy. But here's what you need to know. I just talked with our insurance guy, insures 10% of the helicopters in the U.S. and yesterday he said, kenny, flight schools are booming. And I went, they are. He said our customers are reporting the flight schools are booming. The only problem is CFI shortage. He said flight schools have students waiting because they don't have enough CFIs. So for any naysayers that say see if I can't get a job, that's horse manure because that's coming from one of the leading helicopter insurance guys in the industry right now is saying flight schools are reporting, we got students waiting, we don't have enough CFIs. So for young old people that want to get into the industry and you want your start, there are CFI options available or positions available. Don't let anybody else tell you different because the naysayers will always say, oh, don't become a cfi, don't spend the money because you'll never get a job. Untrue. Other than that, that's all I know. So we'll see you in the next video text. Heather 574-767-1797 which way did you go? Running around somewhere. So you just did that on purpose, didn't you? Just because you wanted us to look at, look at the dramatic, oh, that was perf. It.
