Kenny Keller (presenter) opens a short YouTube video advising helicopter students on checkride preparation. He identifies the Practical Test Standards (PTS) as the single most important resource to pass the helicopter checkride, notes many students avoid using it, and emphasizes repeatedly that the PTS lays out the checkride requirements. He also references training several named students as anecdotal evidence.
Do you need help preparing for your helicopter checkride? Are you overwhelmed by the amount of information there is to know? Most likely you are. That's most likely the reason why you're watching this presentation right now. One major key is the practical test standards. That's what it's going to take to get you through your checkride. Knowing the practical test standards, also known as the pts. Surprised over the years how many people never pull out the PTS and really use it. I can HARP and harp, but a majority of the time I cannot get helicopter students to use it and I don't know why it's so important. It's all laid out right there for you. There it is, the practical test standards. This is your checkride laid right out in front of you. And after training a bunch of guys over the years, Jed, Danny, doctor, Nick, Gary, Justin, another Justin, I can tell you that guys do not want to use the practical test standards. I don't know why. They just don't want to do it. The practical test standards.
