Are you overwhelmed with all there is to know to become a private pilot? I feel your pain. I failed my first checkride many years ago and back at that time there wasn't any online ground school. You had to study this stuff on your own or pay an instructor to help you with all of it, or both. So we have helicopter and ground school for you. Private pilot level has 18 different lessons, we have FAA written test practice and that actually is available for wings credit. So our courses are FAA approved. So for the private pilot you got a monthly option. You can go month to month, cancel any time, come back anytime, and you can also choose a yearly membership. You have two choices, monthly and yearly. And with that membership, the training works on all devices, has a resume course setting, so when you switch between devices you go from one to another, you can just pick up right where you left off. And we have progress tracking within the site. So you can not only resume course, you can keep track of what you've watched and what you haven't. So it works out really, really well for that. And on top of that we have a 30 day, no hassle money back guarantee been in place since 2012 we first went live, so we're 11 years online now, going on 12 years. If you've been to our website, you've probably seen the Hogs wall of fame where hundreds of members of passer checkrides and post their picture after they're finished their checkride and they're excited and they have their new license so there's no risk to you. We even have a 24 hour test flight. So when you sign up, you have 24 hours to go in, check out the training, decide if it's right for you, make an informed decision and before that 24 hour period is up, you can unsubscribe, be build nothing and you're still welcome to come back anytime. We part as friends. So it's been around 11 years going on 12 years we've helped pilots all over the world help with their training. And the training now at this point speaks for itself. So we encourage you to go ahead and sign up. No risk to you. I see a bird up there, I'm gonna turn a little to the right. Sign up, there's no risk. 30 day money back guarantee after the 24 hour test flight. And if you have any kind of question, right here beside me is Heather Height and she's your member concierge. You can reach out to Heather by text or call at 574-767-1797 or you can also email her Heather at helicopterground. Com answer any questions you have. She's been with us for over five years. She can talk the lingo with you on getting your ratings. So sign up and we'll see you on the inside of Hoax.
