Helicopter Flight Training 101
You've known since childhood that being a Helicopter Pilot was the only thing you ever wanted to do. Dreams of landing on a deserted highway to assist in medical transport, search and rescue over snow capped mountains or lowering a basket to a stranded boater are just the beginning of missions you'll accomplish. Ok, time to wake up! There are a few things you need to know before throwing your money into flight training.
A few things to think over before you begin your journey are; first and foremost, there are no shortcuts. Secondly, it's not all glamorous. Lastly, this industry has very small circles, one mistake, if not fatal, and it's over. Sounds pretty crude doesn't it?

Seniority is Everything
This article was provided to us courtesy of the Mesa flight program at San Juan College and written by former instructor David Walsh who currently flies for United Airlines.
For an airline pilot, seniority is everything. Seniority dictates what equipment you fly, from what domicile and in what seat. Seniority determines when you fly, whether or not you're going to get weekends off, or if you are going to be home for Christmas, Thanksgiving, or your kids' birthdays.

Learning To Hover
"Did you find the hover button yet?"
It's a question asked in jest of some new students, but learning the fine art of hovering can challenge even the most determined aviator. After all, a stable hover is where helicopter flights begin and end, so it's a maneuver you'll need to master early on.

The Role of the Flight Instructor in Teaching Students to Become Reflective.
By: Dr. Irene Henley, Prue Anderson and Dorothy Schick
Traditional flight instruction follows an apprenticeship or coaching model and, in so doing, aspires to provide students with skills, attitudes, procedures and techniques derived from a pre-existing body of knowledge and from the practical experience gained by flight instructors as practitioners in the various shooting disciplines. However, the conventional approach based on telling, demonstrating and imitating often inhibits the critical analysis, decision making and self-directed growth of students and thereby fails to promote their full potential development. This paper describes how flight instructors can help students become reflective practitioners through reciprocal reflection-in-action combined with the use of reflective journals, thus promoting critical thinking, self-assessment and encouraging greater self-regulation or autonomy in students.
