Commercial Pilot License at H.O.G.S.

Hey, welcome to Helicopter online ground school. If you're here to help with getting through a rating, you're in the right place. I'm going to show you our new HOGS Wall of Fame over here, digital wall with all of our members, because that's why we're here, to help you get through a rating. Or maybe you work on an SFAR or you're just wanting to freshen up, but I want to go show you this wall real quick before you start working through the course. So we just recently rebuilt this. These were. There was over 300 pictures on this wall and we. We were running out of space. So a recent final approach course customer, which I'll tell you about here real quick, said, why don't you turn into a digital wall, then you can just keep adding to it. So you've got private pilots over here, instrument pilots, our new HOGS logo, commercial pilots, and certified flight instructors. So we want to get you up on the HOGS Wall of Fame with everyone else after you pass your checkride. And when you pass your checkride and send us a picture for the HOGS wall, we send you the HOGS no Go button, which is simply. It's not on. Is simply to fly another day. Helicopterground.com make good weather decisions to stay on the ground. Hit the weather. The HOGS no Go button means you made the right decision. Even though you wanted to fly, you made the right decision stay on the ground. And we talk a lot about that through all the videos. And then something else additional. Yeah, you're new to the courses and you're going, God, he's going to pimp something else. I am. We built something two years ago called the Private Pilot Study Guide, but we think we're going to turn it into the Helicopter Study Guide because it still works good for private, commercial, and CFI. There's over 400 questions in here. All the stuff you got to know as a private pilot that you got to know again as the commercial pilot, and then you have to know as a CFI teaching this stuff. Our operations manager, Brian Rutledge, put this together. 400 questions. And this is the stuff that every single time you're going to get asked on every trek ride, no matter what, what do you have to have on you? What do you got to do to be current? You know, the list goes on and on. And I'm telling you, doesn't matter what checkride you're going for. They start out with all that basic, simple stuff. So start working through the courses. All courses have lessons under each lesson there's a series of videos, there's progress tracking to show you where, what you've completed and what you haven't, so you can come back as many times as needed. We have quizzes on at least two of the courses or working on three of the courses. They're not completed on all courses yet. However, most of the courses do have quizzes at the end of each lesson. And then we do have FAA written test questions. Those are at the end of each course. And we have a lot of people ask, hey, where's the FAA written test practice? We put it at the end of each course because we want you to go through the full course. Then you can take the written test at the end. Take it as many times as needed. Those FAA written tests are updated. We just had a HOGS member who worked for us part time and he spent months updating all the FAA written test practice to make sure you have fresh FAA questions. And those questions are available for FAA Wings credit. So at the end of the course there's a video explains how to take those tests, how to, how to use it, and how to get the FA Wings credit. So start working through the videos and do it step by step. We've designed it in a way to get you the information you need. So the best thing is start the first lesson, work through all those videos, and then know sometimes if there's more than 10 videos, there's a second page for the next, for another, like a another module underneath one main module. So each lesson has a series of videos. If there's more than 10, you have to go to the bottom and click page two. So go through each lesson, go through them step by step. That's how these people tell us that they aced their checkrides by going through all the videos. We've had wonderful success. So start working through the videos. And then people keep asking us, hey, where do I get a Hogs hoodie or a hogs t shirt? Hogshoodies.com put that link down below. Easy to remember. And then also this summer we've been doing checkrides for members. Get all your ratings done, we or all your requirements done. People have been coming up here because there's a problem around the country with lining up checkrides, finding a proper examiner with the right aircraft, with an instructor who can sign you off. So we've been doing something called the final approach course, and we've been helping people finish up their ratings and we're going to be doing that in Florida. This helicopter is getting ready to go to Florida just in the next few days. So through this winter, we'll be doing ratings down in Florida for people, and then it'll be back here next spring. So start working through the videos, and we'll see you in the next video.
