Before Taking A Helicopter Flight Training
March 8, 2010
You always wanted to learn how to fly a helicopter right? Well, don’t just seat there in envy as you watch those normal people fly and enjoy flying. You have to take the first step to get yourself on the stick. You have to enroll on helicopter flight training. Don’t know how?
Here are the things you should know when you are considering enrolling for a helicopter flight training:
The cost.
Upon considering the idea of enrolling for helicopter flight training, the first question you should ask yourself is: Do I have the money? Since flight training involves expensive machine you have to pay to use, you need to make sure that you can maintain the cost. This is a long-term engagement so before you take flight training you have to make sure that you have enough resources up to the end. Meanwhile, there are flight training schools that offer financial assistance to trainees like you. You can search for this information on the training school site.
Finding and selecting flight training school that fits you.
Finding a flight training school may be easy. Here you should consider the cost, the proximity to your place, and the programs they offer. Selecting one involves more criteria.
When selecting a flight training school, it is not enough that you base it on the cost the program. Since you are the student and you are paying big time here, make sure that you check on the eligibility of the flight school you are considering. Weight the school on the criteria of maintenance capability, safety record, and pilot management. You should also talk to your possible flight instructor. Know if the instructor fits your personality. Remember that you will be spending many hours with each other so you better choose one who is fun to be with.
The flight medical certificate.
One important paper you should have if you want to fly is the flight medical certificate. Without it, you can never fly. There are 3 kinds of flight medical certificate: first class medical that is required for an Airline Transport Pilot, second class medical that is required to fly commercial, and the third class medical for private flying.
It is very frustrating if you have finished the training but failed to acquire any of these medical certificates so be sure about that you obtain one before the training.
Do your homework and research on all these 3.
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.

Part one of two. Lindbergh Field San Diego 1994. Our aviation company hired a new helicopter flight instructor who moved out to CA for the job. We gave him a special initiation into the club.
