Episode 433: 30 Check-Rides, 30 Lessons: Final Approach Course Real-World Wins & Fails

Today’s a big one — the first video in our new 30 Check-Rides, 30 Lessons series is live, and I wanted you to be the first to see it.

In this first episode, I introduce the series and share Todd Ketterman’s journey — how he leveraged H.O.G.S. videos before ever stepping foot in a helicopter to make his training smoother, faster, and more certain.

Here’s what you’ll discover:

• How Todd went from struggling in Florida flight training to becoming our first Final Approach Course student.
  
  
• Why using the full video library before arrival is such a consistent pattern among our most successful pilots.
  
  
• The backbone of H.O.G.S. that powers this entire series — the training system, the coaching, and the support (like AskHogs.com and my AI “clone”).
  
  

Why you’ll want to follow this 30-day series

Over the next 30 days, you’ll get real stories straight from our Final Approach Course check-rides over the past 30 months. For each one, you’ll learn what went right, what went wrong, and what you can do differently to ace your check-ride.

If you’re training now or planning to, the lessons you’ll hear aren’t just theory — they’re drawn from real pilots doing real check-rides under real pressure.

Make the most of H.O.G.S.

Before you dive into the series:

• Use AskHogs.com for 24/7 support. You’ll see our AI “clone” pop up in all the courses — one of our members messaged me just yesterday to say how much it’s helped him clarify tricky concepts as he watches.
  
  
• Don’t forget — every membership comes with a 30-day money-back guarantee. Try the system seriously, risk-free.
  
  
• New here? Take a 24-hour free test flight inside H.O.G.S. so you can see how everything works firsthand.
  
  

I can’t wait to hear what you think of the first video. And stick around — the next 29 are coming with stories, lessons, and insights you won’t want to miss.
