edspilot Posted June 2, 2009 Posted June 2, 2009 Congrats! Now the "real" learning begins. There is nothing like trying to teach somebody to fly a helicopter, while they are trying to kill you doing it. Just kidding.... Best Wishes for a long and enjoyable ride! edspilot Quote

Hovergirl Posted June 2, 2009 Posted June 2, 2009 Way to go!! Good luck (and patience) on the job hunt. Quote
1HeliCFI Posted June 2, 2009 Posted June 2, 2009 I hope Ichiro didn't beat you up to bad. Did you train at Classic or Heli NW? Now you get to pass on all that knowledge to new pilots. Just be careful out there, you will be amazed what students will try to do. Quote
goromadgo Posted June 3, 2009 Posted June 3, 2009 Congrats Em! Thanks for all the help over the last year or so, you will be an excellent instructor! Quote
klmmarine Posted June 3, 2009 Posted June 3, 2009 Congratulatons Em. Is NW going to give you a job too? Quote

heligirl03 Posted June 4, 2009 Author Posted June 4, 2009 Thanks everyone! I had a great experience in school, I trained at Northwest at BFI in Seattle and have nothing but praise for the entire operation. Classic is next door and they are fantastic too. Weather and airspace are a big deal here so it's a great learning environment, with mountains and water everwhere so plenty of geography to practice with. Great instructors, immaculate aircraft, and high standards all around. Ichiro was great. On 4 out of 5 checkrides (did my CFI elsewhere because he was away in Japan at the time) he was nothing but patient, kind, and totally fair. Definitely not a gimme and who doesn't come out of a checkride wishing they had studied one thing or another a little bit more closely?! An Ichi checkride is definitely a BFI rite of passage! Yes, now on to the real learning! HG03 Quote
BOATFIXERGUY Posted June 4, 2009 Posted June 4, 2009 You forgot to mention if you got a flying gig at Northwest? Quote
JDHelicopterPilot Posted June 7, 2009 Posted June 7, 2009 Congrats! I remember when I finished my training. I felt like a big weight off my shoulders but knew it was just the begining. It's really a never ending learning process. Hope you got a job. JD Quote
