Book Synopsis Top Ten Check Ride Tips by : Kenny Keller
Download or read book Top Ten Check Ride Tips written by Kenny Keller and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2018-07-26 with total page 68 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From 2018 Flight Instructor Of The Year Dan "Taz" Christman and The Creator of Helicopter Online Ground School Kenny Keller. Top Ten Check Ride Tips. Dedicated to all those that suffer from the hype created by others about the dreaded, Helicopter Checkride! If you apply yourself , remember that we learn through repetition, go over the content repeatedly. Use our checkride tips to keep yourself calm, you will do just fine! In this short read we cover our top ten checkride tips. These tips are very basic, but that's the key. People screw up on checkrides because of very basic things. As we get into our tips for the checkride, we want to add our normal disclaimer. Remember that it is up to you to know the procedures for your aircraft and your environment. We're going to provide some tips, some things that I've seen in 20 years of instructing, that are very basic. These may be basic, but they are things that I don't want you to overlook. It doesn't matter whether it is taking you three months, six months, two years, four years, or more. The time varies for anybody going for a checkride. You are preparing the whole time you are flying. Your instructor is doing his job working with you. You're working through the PTS, and you're doing what you are supposed to be doing. So often, it is the last-minute issues that bite people in the rear. When I say to start three weeks in advance, I mean to start getting the materials ready three weeks in advance of the day of the checkride. I am always amazed that students will show up to a checkride without CURRENT Aeronautical Charts, FAR/AIM, PTS or Chart Supplements (formally A/FD). There is nothing worse than on the night before the checkride thinking, "I don't have a chart. I don't have an E6B. I don't have this, I don't have that." It is the most horrible feeling in the world for you and a horrible feeling for your instructor because you both look unprepared showing up at the checkride trying to sneak through saying, "Well, I couldn't get this in time," or "I forgot that." It just doesn't look good. If it is required, you will not be able to take the test. You want to show up at the checkride prepared. I just picked three weeks as a, general rule. I used to say one or two weeks, but I love the number three. You should have everything that you need for the day of the checkride three weeks in advance. You should have all the tools and things that we talk about three weeks in advance of that checkride. Everything you need is listed in the PTS (page 1-xi) under "Applicant's Practical Test Checklist". We will provide a copy of the checklist in the Appendix. Much of these items are now available digitally and can be updated within a few minutes. The FAA has now approved the use of these digital products for checkrides, but I would check with your DPE as to what he expects. There are a few "old hats" out there that might still want you to demonstrate on paper, as a backup. A note on the use of digital products. Tablets have an uncanny knack for over heating or running out of battery right at the most inopportune time. Have a plan ready should this happen. I had a student, who was using his iPad for his instrument check. Halfway through the first approach, it over heated. He had to land and print out the subsequent approach plates. Lucky for him his examiner was being generous. That might not always be the case.

Book Synopsis Helicopter Maneuvers Manual by : Ryan Dale
Download or read book Helicopter Maneuvers Manual written by Ryan Dale and published by Aviation Supplies & Academics. This book was released on 2011 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Providing a detailed look at helicopter maneuvers, the information in this guide helps to solidify concepts gained from flight training in a student pilot's mind by incorporating the Practical Test Standards into every maneuver description. The graphical and textual explanations work in conjunction with an instructor's lessons, allowing students to prepare before sessions and to review afterwards as well. There are many guides to flight maneuvers and how to fly them in airplanes but none specifically made for helicopters, and not in the complete and fully color-illustrated way as presented in "Helicopter Maneuvers Manual." This handbook will be of immense help to flight instructors teaching helicopter maneuvers, following the FAA's practical test standards for certification of helicopter pilots. This book not only helps in training but can also be used for reference throughout the helicopterpilot's flight career. It provides readers with a crystal-clear picture of what level of performance is expected of them every step and includes insights into the common errors associated with each move.
