Episode 454: Cut the Unnecessary Flying Before Your Helicopter Check-Ride

The “two flights a day” approach isn’t about doing less — it’s about doing smarter. It’s structured repetition, thoughtful rest, and focused review. Flying helicopters demands physical skill, mental clarity, and emotional control. If you’re exhausted, you’re not learning — you’re surviving. So cut the unnecessary flying, focus on quality over quantity, and train like a pro. Because on check ride day, it’s not about who flew the most — it’s about who’s the most ready.
