Short YouTube training-tip by Kenny Keller of Fort Wayne Helicopters advising helicopter students not to cancel scheduled lessons when weather grounds flights. He emphasizes that ground instruction comprises most of training ("the ground is 75% of it, 25% is the flying"), and recommends students still attend and do ground school to save time and money and complete ratings more quickly.
Ground 75%, flying 25%.
Hello, it's Kenny with Fort Wayne Helicopters, another helicopter training tip along your timeline of getting started with learning to fly helicopters. When you have a scheduled flight, even if the weather's bad, show up and do ground with your instructor. Students are horrible about oh, I'm not going today because the weather's bad. There's so much ground to do. The ground is 75% of it, 25% is the flying. And time and time again guys will cancel because the weather's bad. Don't cancel. Go in, sit down with your instructor, do some ground school. It's a common issue that happens over and over again. So if you want to save time, save money, get through the rating in a decent amount of time just because the weather's bad, don't cancel your flight, go in and do ground school. So thanks for stopping by and we'll see you on the next one. Sa.
