Instructor Kenny Keller introduces Module 3 of his Helicopter Ground School, explains that each module will be split into three short videos for easier study and file management, and emphasizes mental preparedness and regular practice. He previews core topics (introduction to the helicopter, aerodynamics of flight, flight controls, systems) and relates training analogies from prior law-enforcement and CFI experience.
Hello everybody. Welcome back for module three. Going to be a little bit laid back tonight. Talk about the Rotorcraft flying handbook. And before I get to that I want to say thanks for all the response. You guys have all been awesome. And we're going to keep charging forward here. And what I want to explain is break these up into three sections per module, three separate videos. The reason for that my files have gotten so rest of the modules coming up. Each module will have three sections to it. I think it's going to be good for all of us because it's a little easier for me to handle the files when you're studying, it's easier to sit down and get half, 20 minutes or half an hour to check out a module, go do what you got to do and maybe the next day you pick up on the next one. So I think it's a little bit easier. When a guy starts flying with me, I tell them just approach it. Kind of easy. Get in here and go to the introduction of the helicopter. General aerodynamics, aerodynamics of flight, helicopter flight controls, helicopter systems, Just kind of training. No matter what helicopter you're flying, flying wherever in the country or in the world, it doesn't matter. What I want to point out is mental preparedness, reading the flight maneuvers, sitting in a chair out your broomstick. When I was in the police academy, I'm a former law enforcement officer, went through the Indiana Women Academy. When you're at the academy and you go to bed at night, we want you to go through the course of fire in your mind. Start out at the 3 yard line and then move to the 15 yard line, move to the 25 yard line, go through every one of these that you're going to be doing and thinking these things through. That's why I think the three times a week as far as you're flying I think is huge. I harp on this over and over and sometimes I think I talk about it too much. But I've kind of, I tune a little bit because there is something that I learned that I learned back in like CFI training back in California. Somebody came up with this. Bear with me, you guys can laugh at my drawings if you want to. It's fine, it'll be alright. Get too upset. So I'm going to draw 30 knots. Some of you guys that's already been flying idea kind of where I'm going with 400, 400. Now look at the difference. This is forward flight, 100 knots. Moving this way at 100 knots, 700. This is Golf, this is still Golf. This is still Golf. This is steel Golf up here. Class E.
