KK's Helicopter Training Notebook I Created After My First Check Ride Failure.
I'm Kenny Keller creator Helicopter Online Ground School and Author of the Amazon Best Seller Helicopter Check Ride. Here is the infamous Helicopter Training Notebook. This as you can see, back cover's gone. A little bit wore. I've used this thing maybe a couple times during Helicopter Training. What I did with this notebook basically is I failed my first helicopter private pilot check ride.
That meant a lot because it was a struggle. It was upsetting to go home with my tail between my legs. After all that time and effort to fail, it was pretty tough. I went home and I didn't go back for six months. When I decided to go back for the second Helicopter Check Ride, I knew that I hadn't studied enough the first time around and I had all these multiple helicopter training notebooks. I had notes on this pad, notes on this pad and I had papers shoved in this book.
I was overwhelmed by the amount of different things that there was to just sit and study. I thought, "You know what I need? A decent helicopter training notebook. I need to put everything in one place where I can study," and I didn't want to have to look through 10 different books. It's important, you still have to have your reference materials but I wanted one good place to study. I can remember going and buying this. I've been trying to figure out what the date says but I can't tell the date but I paid 3.99 for it. I know it was well over 10 years ago. Basically I put together my own helicopter study guide.
My sister gets credit for going through this thing and transcribing all this for me. These are some of her notes and so on for different slides because this notebook, we based the original Helicopter Online Ground School on. We have run 150 slides done so far and we're not done yet but that's going to be our on-line ground training on the page site that you'll be able to go through. I'll have video along with that to talk you through the different things in the notebook. These are some of the things, different things on our slides. The first couple pages are over here because I've used this so much it's wore out.

We've got the first couple pages hidden back there away. It's all good stuff and there's a lot of Robinson stuff in here because I trained originally with a Robinson but that's fine. Some things in between the different helicopters are the same, some are different but I'll point them out. Robinson R-22, Enstrom, maybe some Schweitzer stuff. It's pretty much all the meat of everything you've got to know. Dissymmetry of lift, flapping, stored energy, coning, phonetic alphabet, a little bit of everything. Air spaces, flight service, just all the meat of what you've got to know, three stages of a thunderstorm.
They're all my own drawings and basically what we've done is my sister has went through, transcribed it all over to the computer and she's put in some images. But we haven't changed a whole lot. We've tried to keep everything pretty much true to the notebook as the form that I made it well over 10 years ago. Over the years people have wanted to buy it, borrow it, steal it and I've always hid it away and never let anybody have it. That's why we decided to base our training basically all on the notebook. The notebook's going to be available in paperback, the PowerPoint that we're doing, all the on-line stuff's all going to be based on the notebook. It's not taking necessarily you from private pilot day one student off the street. It's kind of geared towards, really geared towards check ride preparation. Going through and helping you. make sure that you know the stuff you've got to know, special disorientation, so on and so forth. There's a little insight to the notebook and the on-line ground training. KK's Helicopter Training Notebook I Created After My First Check Ride Failure.
