Rotor Aviation – Tips On Making It Through Helicopter Flight Training In San Diego, CA
March 2, 2010
Have you ever dreamed of becoming a pilot? If so, you may have considered attending a helicopter flight school. But before you make the decision to invest your energy into helicopter flight training, it’s a good idea to see if you have the basic characteristics to do well in such an environment.Below is a checklist of eight personality traits that most successful helicopter flight school graduates possess. Although it’s not necessary for you to see each attribute in yourself, you should have at least half or more of the qualities.1. Ability to Follow Rules:In order to stay safe during your helicopter flight training, you must be prepared to accept and follow rules. If you’re a person who always has to “try something new” and who cannot conform, you may not enjoy towing the line when it comes to procedures and policies.2. Self-Discipline:Helicopter pilots must possess large amounts of self-discipline. This may mean making choices that are unpopular or unexciting but are best for the safety of the pilot, the passengers (if applicable) and the equipment.3. Thirst for Knowledge :Those who do well in helicopter flight training don’t simply study their manuals; they actively seek out all the information they can find. This helps them get more out of the helicopter flight school experience.4. Ability to Stay Cool under Pressure:Pilots must be cool under pressure, especially when dealing with the unexpected, such as helicopter malfunctions or incidents attributable to “Mother Nature”. If you’re someone who can’t remain calm when there is chaos around you, becoming a helicopter pilot may be too stressful.5. Enjoyment of Air Travel:This may seem obvious, but many attendees of helicopter flight schools forget that in order to do particularly well, they really have to enjoy traveling by air. This means feeling comfortable at significant heights and in physically demanding positions.6. Passion for Excellence:Do you strive to give 110% all the time, every time? If so, you’ll probably do very well during your helicopter flight training. On the other hand, if you are someone who is satisfied with doing the bare minimum, becoming a pilot may be too strenuous for you.7. Good Communicator:As a helicopter pilot, you will be required to communicate on a regular basis with a number of different people. If you’re not able to do so, you may find it a challenge to rise through the ranks of pilots.8. Respect for Others:Pilots must be very “in tune” with the people with whom they work. For instance, if a passenger is terrified to fly in a helicopter, the onus may land squarely on the pilot’s shoulders to empathize with that individual. Everyone wants to be treated with respect.So is attending a helicopter flight school in your future? If you’re the right age and you possess more than 50% of the eight qualities above, why not give it a try? It’s an amazing career path or pastime for the right man or woman. And who knows? That could be you!For more information, visit www.RotorAviation.com.
Top 5 Jet Ski Destinations in the Western U.S
March 2, 2010
Jet skis provide a great way to have a ton of fun in the sun. They give you the freedom to control where you go and what you do on the water. This article will provide you with information on the Top 5 Jet Ski Destinations in the Western U.S. Whether you’re planning a vacation or just want to have some fun, the following will be beneficial to you. Riding a jet ski is an exciting way to enjoy the water and it can provide hours of fun. If you love the water, the wind in your hair, the sun on your face and the thrill of an adrenaline rush, you’ll love riding a jet ski! Jet skis are designed to provide the enjoyment of water sports. You can find jet ski rentals just about anywhere there’s an ocean or a lake or at a local ski shop. Most people prefer to rent right on the water so they can just hop on and take off. We’ve compiled a list of the Top 5 Jet Ski destinations in the Western United States, so you know where to go to have fun. Here they are (in no particular order): 1. Lake Powell. You can rent a jet ski in a little town just 6 miles from Lake Powell, called Page, Arizona. Lake Powell is located in the area of Northern Arizona and Southern Utah. It has 1,900 miles of shore line, covers 180 miles, have four marinas and some of the cleanest, clearest blue water in the U.S. Lake Powell is located in the Glen Canyon Recreation Area National Park – there are no jet ski restrictions! 2. Morro Bay Harbor. Morro Bay Harbor, near San Luis Obisbo, offers excellent access to the ocean. It is the only all-weather small craft commercial and recreational harbor between Santa Barbara and Monterey. There is no charge to launch, but freshwater rinse is required (for a couple of quarters). The speed limit in the bay is 5mph, but the open ocean is fair game. Big waves to jump (4′-15′+) along miles of deserted beach south of the harbor will keep you busy, not to mention the scenery and wildlife. 3. Columbia River. The Columbia River is the largest river in the Pacific Northwest region of North America. It stretches from British Columbia through Washington state, forming much of the border between Washington and Oregon before emptying into the Pacific Ocean. The river is 1,243 miles long, and its drainage basin is 258,000 square miles. Whether you’re in Washington or Oregon, the Columbia River provides a great place to jet ski – especially if you like your waters a little on the chilly side. Rental prices and fees vary depending on where you launch. There are literally hundreds of miles of boat free/people free places to ride! 4. Lake Mohave. A short drive north of Laughlin, Nevada and Bullhead City, Arizona is a 67-mile stretch of the Colorado River called Lake Mohave. The lake is comparatively narrow, not more than 4 miles across at its widest point. Lake Mohave is part of the Lake Mead National Recreation Area. This lake is perfect for recreation – jet skis, houseboats, boats, etc – and there are plenty of places to launch. PLUS, there are about 10 casinos to choose from along the Colorado River, so have fun! 5. Santa Monica Bay. A great public launch site in Southern California is the Santa Monica Bay. It’s only $5.00 per day including trailer. The waters are warm, the scenery is gorgeous and aquatic life is abundant. Oh, and you’re in SoCal! What more could you ask for?
