Brand New Helicopter Private Pilot Jamie Cobb! Jamie is one of our Helicopter Online Ground School members who traveled from Texas to finish his rating with us. Check out the video if you are struggling to put all the pieces together to finish YOUR rating! Kenny:
Hey, it's Kenny with Helicopter Online Ground School here with Jamie Cobb, one of our ground school members. Jamie just got his helicopter private pilot rating. The check ride was yesterday.  We just want to talk a little bit about all the struggles when we go to get our rating, private, commercial, whatever the case is. I failed my first private pilot rating, so my private turned into a couple years. More money. Lots of frustration. Jamie's had some issues along the way. I'll let him tell you more about it. Because a lot of times having an available instructor who has, an examiner available, you know, everybody's time, everybody's busy with their lives, so it's not always easy to get these ratings done. Real quick, Jamie, just give us the brief overview of the struggle that you had and why you decide just to come up here and just get it done. Jamie Cobb:
Well, everybody's busy. We all have things to do and trying to get our schedules lined up ... It's pretty difficult, so I bought your Helicopter Online Ground School. Felt I needed to get more of a grip on things, and I did that. Just going through it. I thought well, maybe Kenny can help me out. I'm trying to get this thing done. I was getting tired of it and just tired of all the struggles. Kenny:
He's been at ground school for about a year. I even went back and looked through the emails. We've been communicating for a year. There's 10 or 15 emails and several times he's called me through the way saying hey, I'm just kind of struggling with this or that. I give him some pointers. We talked a couple times about him coming up here. Jamie asked? Ken if I come up there, can I just come up and get done and he did. He got here on the second. Yesterday was the 10th. We got him done in about nine days. He had good knowledge from going through ground school. The instructors he flew with did a good job with him in the aircraft, so when he showed up there wasn't really a big problem other than it just putting everything together. Going out flying a little bit. Doing a little bit of ground to polish everything up to make sure it was all good. Then going through the paperwork because we know ... Or if you don't know, there's a lot of documentation and log books and 8710 and getting everything right to go see the examiner. We did that in about nine days and flew over yesterday. Windier than the average check ride, but he felt good about it. Examiner felt good about it. Probably the windiest check ride I've done in 15 years and he still went out and flew to a standard and passed and got the rating done. Kenny:
You did it. I was even going, wow, it's kind of windy, but I thought well as long as examiner wants to go and you feel good about it. Then they went out and flew maneuvers and got it done. After the fact I said, "Hey, is there anything that the examiner asked you during the check ride that we hadn't covered or wasn't in Online Ground School?" Your answer was ... Jamie Cobb:
Nope. You covered everything. I mean your videos really helped me out a lot. I mean there's just ... The books are overwhelming. Kenny:
That's why I build it, because I failed my first check ride. Most people know and that's one thing that Jamie connected with me when he first started watching my videos was hey, the guy admitted that he failed. I've created a business out of it because I know how hard it is when you got eight different books and you're trying to study here and you're trying to study here and it just gets overwhelming. I kind of just put my own little training manual together with my own notebook and been teaching out of it for years. Then turned it into Online Ground School and here we are. Jamie Cobb:
I'm about ready to do the commercial now. I'm going to come back.
Kenny: Yep, he's going to go back build his PIC time and when he's ready for the commercial he'll come back up. He knows now he can just come up. We'll get to it, get everything. Kenny:
Get everything signed off. Make sure the requirements are all met. Polish the fly-in, polish the ground school and go out and get it done.
