FWHIhelicopters.com So the next thing I want to talk about, something else that I think is huge, and this is from experience. You need a acceptable aircraft, you need to have certain documents with you. You need AROW your Helicopter Airworthiness Certificate, the Helicopter Registration Certificate, the Pilots Operating Handbook (POH) also called the Flight Manual, and the Weight and Balance information. Every single Check Ride the examiner is going to ask you these things about your Aircraft.You need to make sure they are current, and filled out. The story I want to tell here is I failed My First Private Pilot Check Ride! The one Big Mistake we made, every time we talked about Aircraft Logbooks, they were always locked up in the Mechanics Office! So we went through all the Helicopter Training and The PTS, The Practical Test Standards, but failed to ever get our hands on the logbooks, that’s where we messed up. I was a nervous wreck anyway, one of the first things the FAA Examiner wanted to do was look at Schweitzer Aircraft Logbooks. So we get them, then he says show me the last 100 hour inspection! It was not a New Helicopter, so there were lots of entries. As I am going through page by page, the examiner is huffing and puffing, tapping on the desk, writing things down, as of course I become more and more nervous. Well you can guess how this Check Ride ended!

Nick has been taking flying lessons in a Cessna 140A, and on May 1, 2009 he successfully defied gravity unassisted! (He Soloed!) Three fantastic landings with an 8 knot wind and about 10 degrees of varying crosswind. On the pavement no less! This was all accomplished at the Poplar Grove Airport, Poplar Grove, Illinois (C77). Good Job Nick!

API (Aviation Preflight indoctrination) is the very first part of the US Navy’s flight school. This training is comprised of both physical and academic challenges. This video shows all the “fun” physical stuff that is involved in the training but neglects to show the countless hours spent in class and studying to get to this point. I hope that you all enjoy this video of API class 0704. Here is API rolled into 5 min.
