Kenny Keller walks through how to start training as a private helicopter pilot. He covers the free PDF guide, what to expect on an introductory flight, getting your medical certificate, and updates to the Helicopter Online Ground School courses for R22 and R44 helicopters.
Do we have any questions?
CMC equipment claims that they recently tried to call. They're starting from scratch with no knowledge and need to know what the best route is for their journey.
Just starting out first right here is free free PDF private pilot 101 helicopter training blueprint. That's why we created this and let me cover what's in the first chapter. Since you ask and you're at the beginning. That's why we created this. The first chapter are questions that we've, we took like the top 10 questions that we get all the time. Like is learning how to fly a helicopter difficult? How long will it take to become a private pilot? How much will it cost to become a private pilot? What is the best approach to selecting a flight school? What are the key differences between helicopters and fixed wing aircraft? How many tests will I have to take? How many hours for solo on the license? Kenny's recommended training supplies. So this is absolutely 100% free. You can go down below, there's a link down below.

DNC required and said that he did read the book.
Oh, he did read the book.
Okay, good.
All right, well that's helpful for anybody that's just brand new started. So you've already read the book. Then I would get your introductory flight. Does he, did he mention introductory flight or not? I would absolutely schedule the introductory flight and also look at getting your medical certificate if you haven't yet. In the event you have any type of a medical issue, at least if you go in early and find out if there's anything that's going to hold up getting a medical, you can work on getting that corrected and you have plenty of time to start your training because you won't technically have to have it until you solo, but you'll need it to really, you know, get into the training. So I would right off the bat go look at getting a student pilot certificate, medical certificate, and I would schedule the introductory flight and go give it a try. If you haven't started yet, you haven't flown yet, go make sure it's something that you're going to be interested in. I don't think that you're going to be disappointed. I've never had anybody that went, ah, you know what, it's just not for Me, right? I'm sure there are some people that have said that, but most people walk away going, oh my God, I got to figure out a way to get started and move towards this goal. So that would be my next step. You've read that book. I would get an introductory flight, go out, give it a try. And then our business is helicopter land ground school. That's what we do for all these ratings in our private pilot course. We walk you through it step by step. The ground knowledge. And of course we have tons of free stuff. You're on YouTube now. Our YouTube channel has over 1200 videos. We have podcasts and blogs. @helopterground.com we have an insurmountable of free stuff that you can consume. I say get introductory flight scheduled and go give it a try. Sign up for HOGS to start learning, start going through the video step by step and you'll be well on your way to making that reality. Or subscribe to the YouTube channel. Subscribe the channel. You'll get a notification when the new video comes out for either the live or the premiere, whichever way we do it. And then we want to also bring up. We are updating and starting to update our R22 specific course behind us, course behind us, course using the helicopter behind us. Lindsay's in charge of getting in there and updating some images. In the R22 site section of Hogs. We have R22 specific section and R44 specific section that come with any of our memberships. So you don't have to buy that specifically. We use private pilot, for example, monthly membership. It has both the R22 and R44 sections in there. And since we have an R22 available to us and an R44 available to us, we thought why not get the content updated in those courses with some fresh videos, brushed images. We got two aircraft and a lot of people going, well, I want to. Well, I'm gonna. Well after Christmas. Well, that's when everybody's going to start wanting those times. So to speed the process along, we need to get some workbook for these helicopters. Both of them are sitting, currently not flying, and they're both ready to go. So reach out to Hogsmember support 574-767-1797. If you'd like to get on the schedule for some training. We specialize in check rides, finish the people up. But we can also do, you know, SFAR checkouts. Again, you can come in for one day, two days, whatever you need or you need a block of time. We'd even be willing to work your little deal this time of the year to get some time on these aircraft. So again, reach out to Hogsmember support 574-767-1797 when you feel the pressure to.
Fly, but know the right decision is to stay on the ground, hit the hogs no go and live to fly another day. Helicopter Ground com.
