A short, informal YouTube tip from Kenny Keller (Four Wind Helicopters) about handling learning plateaus in helicopter training. Keller reassures trainees that plateaus are common, advises against pushing through unproductively, and recommends taking a break (days to a couple weeks) to rest and return with improved performance. The video ends with a casual sign-off.
Hello, Kenny with four wind helicopters. And I want to give you a tip on learning plateau. It's something that you're probably going to hear about when you get started with your training. Know that almost everybody ends up hitting a learning plateau. You don't want to get discouraged if you're say you're flying a lot, maybe you're studying really hard and you have a couple lessons where things don't start going so good. You feel like you're not making progress, a lot of guys will keep pushing on and you kind of end up wasting your time and wasting your money. When you hit that learning plateau, a lot of times it's a good idea to just take a break, take a few days off, even take a week or two sometimes and maybe you won't be able to handle it. Flying helicopters is addicting. Maybe you can't go two weeks without flying, but a lot of times taking a break, when you come back, you will fly better than you did the whole entire time you'd been training. So know that you're going to have a learning plateau that's going to come up. Kind of plan for it or be ready for it. And just know when it happens. Don't let it freak you out. Don't get too discouraged. Just say, hey, I guess I've hit my learning plateau. Take a few days off, take a week off. Go relax a little bit, Go hang out by the ocean, chill a little bit, and then go back and hit it again. Thanks for stopping by and we'll see you on the next one. It.
