Chapters
All right, says we are live. Hey, it's Kenny with helicopter land ground school. We're gonna tell you about some deals and then we're gonna talk about the last update to the helicopter flying handbook because we had a question from a member inside private pilot and we're gonna talk about that. Actually. We're gonna shoot in a video and we'll just edit out that part. So it'll be kind of fun. It'll be the first video in the private pilot course. And before we get to that private pilot right now, the deal, the big deal. Heather just drew this out for you in color. In color. Private pilot 12 months access right now 397. That saves you 767 bucks. If you're paying month to month at full price, that's a frickin hot deal you can get right now on our website, helicopterground.com link down below the video. Pro pilot 24 months, 597. That's the savings of 400 bucks. ProPilot includes private pilot, commercial pilot, instrument pilot, certified flight instructor. Save 400 bucks on that right now at 597. So that's pro pilot 24 months access. ProPilot, lifetime, normally 1800. I think that's $803 off. 997. Three people signed up in the last two days for pro pilot lifetime. Meaning you keep all of those. They do not expire. If it takes you five years to get your ratings trainings there, all of those ratings together will cost you 9,600 bucks at average price at ground school if you paid for all that ground time and then the big one. And we're going to give away private pilot study guys with this $100 value there, $97 value, that's $2800. We sell Lifetime where we do six zooms with you with either. Well, with both of us, with me and Brian Rutledge, our operations manager, people love the zooms. They've loved the ones with me and they love the ones with Brian. We both have, you know, different teaching style, but they like them either way. And we'll double team these, I guess you might want to say where we'll do three with Brian, three with me. That's pro pilot lifetime private pilot, commercial pilot, instrument pilot, certified flight instructor, lifetime. Six zoom sessions, one on one. Where we get on zoom work with you, we say one hour and they'll always go over because we like to teach. And we'll get on there and they usually run an hour and a half and we're going to send you the private pilot study guide. This thing is rocking. Brian Rutledge, our operations manager, put that together. Well, most of you already know what it is. This is over 400 questions preparing for a rating. We just did our final approach course with Kyle Naess. We used this on the zooms. There's your deals. So we'll talk about the helicopter flying handbook here in just a minute. You can also save on the monthly packages. So I'm going to have Heather cue that up and have her show you the deals that include the monthlies. If you have that ready. Heather, you got it ready? Yep. Go ahead, roll it. Memorial day sale is on. Now. All of our courses have a 30 day, 100% money back guarantee, no hassle guarantee. We've had that in place for 10 years. Heather's right here.

Jump over here to advanced pilot. Same thing. That's normally 97, now only 77. That's private commercial instrument CFI. Private commercial instrument CFI. What am I thinking? What am I thinking? That's all of them, all the courses. Then we have a 12 month deal that we normally call the 12 months pay for six access. So that would normally cost you $1,164. If you want month to month, we have a six month deal and we discounted that 397. So that's a savings of 767 bucks on that one. So there's three options for you. Private pilot, monthly, private pilot, 12 months access. That's the smoking hot deal. Or advanced pilot, that's 20 bucks off a month as long as you keep the courses. Then we go down here to the more advanced stuff and we have the professional pilot 24 months, normally 997. That is 597 save $400. Ends June 1st. Then your professional pilot lifetime.

We answer emails seven days a week, 52 weeks a year. We don't wake you email us on Friday night. We don't wait till Monday. You get a response from us. All right, so those are our deals. And what inspired the video that we're going to make today? Well, we're making it right now while we're live. We're going to edit this out and it'll be the first video inside the private Pilot course. Inside the private pilot course we have a video where we talked about this in 2019, but I also said, you know, into now that it's 2019. Well, now when you go to watch Private Pilot, you go, well, this video is 2019. Somebody was confused recently and said, well, is there another update? And there's not. The one put out in 2019 is still your current manual. So I thought, well, we'll just reshoot a brand new video because Heather and I watched the one that's in Private Pilot right now and it's a little stiff. Three years we've gotten laxed in here and comfortable in here. We were brand new to this hangar when we made that video, prior to it. So let's talk about what you need to know about the helicopter flying handbook. So I'll just pause for a second so we can edit this out. Hey, welcome to private Pilot Helicopter on land ground school. You're going to hear us talking about this book throughout your training in the private pilot course. It's now like 192 videos. This is what we call your helicopter bible. And along the way somebody was offended by this and said, oh well, you shouldn't call that, you know, this type of book a bible. Well, many, many, many of us call it that. Right? And the reason we call it that is because this is the book you need to be using. Whether you're working on private pilot, instrument pilot, commercial pilot, certified flight instructor, we're all expected to know the information in this book. Designated pilot examiners are also told to be using this book for training and testing. Okay. And if you look at the beginning of it, it tells you that it's spelled out in here who should be using it. Anybody going for a helicopter pilot rating should be using this book. When they update this, we will update this inside the course. So just because it says 2019, don't think, oh, this is an old video, maybe this book is not still valid. This is the current book and when something big changes, we'll let you know. And one of the things that I want to point out is for many, many years we talked about this thing called settling with power. And there was a lot of controversy for years about setting with power vortex Ring state in different countries using different terminology. So as you're going through our private pilot course 192 videos to come, you're going to hear us reference selling with power. Okay. Because some of these videos were made more than a couple years ago and or a person like me who for I've been flying since 97, so selling with power is ingrained in my brain. And we just had training for two weeks here ago. We had three members come in and when we're having our discussions, selling the power just still came out of my mouth. Okay. Because for so many years you're talking about selling the power. Well, now they've changed it and it's called Vortex Ring State. And that's mentioned in this book. This was in the update that they now call it Vortex Ring State. So as you're going through our private pilot course, as you continue through it, realize that if we save something with power, it's now officially called Vortex Ring State. So this talk doesn't come up quite so much anymore like it used to because it was. Like I said, there was a lot of controversy before they opened this up. So as you go through our private pilot course, you want to be working with this, you can go online, find it at Sporty's or other places and buy it. Probably Amazon. I'm sure you can probably get it price now because of the world we're living in. The shortage is probably went up. It used to be around 20 bucks, might be a little bit more. But the beauty of that is you can go to the FAA website and you can download this for free so you don't have to spend any Money to get this book. If you're in the generation that likes electronics and that's what you want to use, that's more than acceptable. If you're old school like me and you want the hardback paperback copy, order one up. I mean, you're going to spend anywhere from 20,000 to $100,000 on your helicopter training. You can spend 20 bucks on a book. Having both is nice. Have the paperback copy and have the digital copy too. So as you're working through private pilot, this is what we call the helicopter bible, okay? As you're being tested with the either designated pilot examiner or the FAA examiner, when they ask you questions, if you're having a conversation and you're using information that came from this book, you're not going to fail. Right? It's as far as we're concerned, the FAA is concerned. This is where the information should be coming from. From for aerodynamics, performance and a lot of different subjects. So if you are stating something out of this book, you know, it's golden. And we get questions from a lot of people like, well, hey, how about military helicopter book? And what about this book somebody else wrote? Or, you know, a lot of these other publications and things that people put out could be great sources of material. I'm not going to say there's anything out there that's not valuable because any piece can be valuable. But the FAA doesn't recognize the military, whatever it's called, the military. I'm sure they have some type of book similar to this. That's the military version. But we're not. We're flying in the civilian world as far as what we do here at helicopter airline ground school and what our members do. So this is the book Helicopter Flying Handbook. Again, the last big update was 2019. That's been a while ago. This is currently the book. When they make a big change, we'll let you know. I've seen three of these from since 1997. Three different versions where everything changed. And trust me, each version gets better. They're more colorful. There are better illustrations. The ones I started using when I started flying, I think it was called the Rotor. The Rotorcraft Flying Handbook I think is what it was called. Anyway, it had all these old ugly drawings and it was pretty gross. So be happy that this is actually a pretty good copy. And remember, as you're going through the private pilot training, if you hear a state selling with power, according to this book, it is now called Vortex Ring State. So make a comment down below and we'll see in the next video inside Private Pilot. And there you go. Done. New video produced for the private Pilot course. That is the first Verdi Verdi. That is the first video inside the private Pilot course. Why? Because it's that important and you need to have this from the very beginning and you need to have it through all your training. You're going to be referencing it, talking about it, looking things up, your instructor will be talking about it, we'll be using it. If you're inside ground school with us and when you go to your checkride, you're going to have a copy there. Whether you have the paperback or you have the digital version or you have both, this is what you're going to want to be referencing. So there you go. All right, so one more time if you want to view that or cue that video up for just to be used shortly here, I'm going to reiterate the value in this training. We've been online 10 years and every day we get the comments, every day we get the emails, we get the pictures for the Hogs Wall of Fame behind me. If you're new to us, this is the Hogs Wall of Fame in the background. It's about full and we continue to put our members up on the wall. We take throw them in videos. When we put people up, our training speaks for itself. It's proven we've been around a long time and we're not going anywhere. So these, all these prices are really, really good deals now that end June 1st, which is tomorrow, this is the 31st. So June 1st, 11:59pm is when the sale ends and that's automated and that's when the deals go away. So private Pilot, if you wrote our monthly normal price of 97amonth, that's $1,164. You can get it right now for 397. Keep it for a full 12 months and you will not be rebuild one time billing. It'll go 12 months and then it'll expire. And if you want to come back on another special, you want to come back monthly or you want to upgrade to professional pilot later. That's always an option. Propilot. This is for somebody who you know, you're working on some different ratings private plus some advanced ratings and you don't want to switch around. Oh, I want to need the private now I need the commercial now I need the instrument. You can do a one time charge or one time fee. This gives you 24 months access. Get your private done, start working on your commercial, get your Commercial done. Start working on your instrument or go to CFI, whatever your choice is, that is a savings of 400 bucks. That's normally 997. That's the normal advertised price. And people pay that because it's still the value. It really is. Propilot lifetime, normally 1800 bucks. 997, it means it doesn't expire. That's 997 bucks. That's a thousand bucks. If you're paying Brian Relgen I figured this up. If you're paying per hour, say 65 bucks an hour, and we figured like 40 hours per rating of ground time, one on one. If you're paying an instructor for private commercial CFI instrument, that's 9,600 bucks. You could cut that in half or you could cut it more than half. If you're doing ground school on your own, using us as a supplement, you could cut half that easily. Cut down on the training that you're doing one on one. And even more, we have some people that use us for everything. Kyle Nace, that was just here, he flew with people. They did all the flying. He said, I, for six months I've been doing nothing but watching at least two hours night of hogs something. And he said, I totally did the rating with your ground school. Totally. So people can do it. And then this one, people love the zooms. I'm telling you, you'll get what Brian and I have agreed on. It's not because we're like so smart and we're just like geniuses. That's not what it is. We've been around for a while and we see what goes on in the industry and we understand people's struggles. And usually what happens, somebody is, has a mountain ahead of them or they're looking at this mountain of this ground training they're trying to get over and they're overwhelmed. They're like, oh my God, I'm never going to get, I'm never going to get this. Brian and I will have both agreed. We can usually straight you out, straighten you out much quicker than what you think your problem that's ahead of you seems like this mountain. And by the time we give you a little guidance and work with you a little bit, we change that mountain into a molehill where you go, you know what, okay, I can get over this hurdle. And this can be whether you're working on the private or any other ratings or, you know, help with your career and your path and how you get from point A to point B, we can help you from all that just because together Brian and I would have over 50 years of experience in the helicopter industry. So we have experience to share with you. We've done the dumb stuff. We know what causes people problems. Only because we've been there, done that. That's it. So that one does sell at 2,800 bucks and people buy it because it's lifetime. All the ratings. And then those six zooms, you know, those are worth, you know, 300 bucks a piece. They are. Just because we're not Joe Blow average everyday instructors. We're people that can help you make the rating happen. It is what it is. It's not bragging. It's the real deal. We know how to get you through. So anything I need to answer before we go? Yeah, Kyle was here. Oh, different Kyle. Awesome. Nice. 90 Lessons of the private pilot course. Wow. Very cool. Awesome. So there you go. Heather is here right now talking to you in chat. She left the hogs phone at home. It's a mobile phone. She's going to check text messages and phone calls when she gets home. If between you want to talk to her right now, chat real quick before we go, or email her heatherelicopterground.com she'll get your response right away. Remember with the big pro pilot with the six zooms, Heather's gonna send you this. After you sign up, she's gonna email you, welcome you aboard as she does with every single member, and then she's gonna say, what's your address? To ship you this in the six zooms inside. When you sign up, you can go in and pick your times for your zoom sessions. And it's in your library. And I think it's called zoom sessions. You can go in there and pick a time that works for you. And if there's nothing that fits your schedule, we can always come up with something. Because my zoom is listed in there. We can always get Brian's zoom too. So we'll get them scheduled for you. And it's kind of a neat deal because you'll see. Okay, here's lesson or here's Zoom 1. We can put notes in there. What are we going to talk about? Or what did we talk about? What are we going to do in the next session so we can plan these out. And that's why we based our final approach course that we're doing now that we just did a couple weeks ago or a week ago. We lay it all out right so that you have after we do the first time talking with you, we'll Then lay out a course of training for the next five sessions. So each time we're going to know what we're going to talk about the next time and we'll give you some type of an assignment. Say, okay, let's say you're struggling with aerodynamics. Just giving you an example, we may say, okay, go back into hogs. Go back into private pilot. We don't care. You're working on commercial. We don't care. You're working on cfi. Go back into private pilot and go through all those aerodynamic videos again because maybe that's where you're struggling. Review those before we come back next week. If we're going to do like say one a week, which works out pretty good. One a week. And we want you to read this. The aerodynamics. Then we're going to come back and we're going to work through it again. So we'll come up with a course that works for you. One of our guys just got a checkride done who had amazing or some different struggles. And he went with ProPilot with six zooms at the end. He goes, dude, I can't tell you how much he goes, you got me through it. And the hurdles that he was having, they weren't that difficult. But he needed somebody on the outside to go, you know what, what your instructor did was, was good. What he did there was good. I like that. What he did there was good. But that right there, that was a problem and he should have never taught you that and you shouldn't be doing it across the board. This is something in the, in the helicopter field that we just don't do. And an instructor was teaching him to do something that's. That nobody thinks this is acceptable with some other small issues that we helped him get through. So power in the zoom. That's right. Text or call Heather. 574-767-1797. Email Heather. Heather. Heather. Heatherelicopterground.com we'll see you in the next video. Did you want to roll that again or. Nancy? Yeah. Here. In case you missed the deals. Here they are. Oh, you got it ready? Yep.
