Do you have what it takes?
Well, do you?
Good helicopter pilots make good decisions.
The best decisions are informed decisions, so it’s important that you spend the time to learn about what it takes to be a good helicopter pilot before you jump in and take off.
In short, being a good helicopter pilot is about maturity.
Many people falsely believe a pilot's talent lies in perfect eyesight or an ability to coordinate hands and feet. Others think that flying a helicopter effectively is about being able to react quickly. The truth is that if you find yourself in a situation where you have to react to conditions, then you're already in big trouble. Because a good helicopter pilot doesn't just react, a good pilot plans for all conditions and has systems built in to assess all situations. A good pilot always has a methodical plan in action, and is constantly evaluating to ensure stability in an ever-changing environment. A good pilot knows exactly what's going to happen before committing to any maneuver.
What every good helicopter pilot needs:
Confidence, maturity, absolute control, the ability to make solid decisions. "Experience" is not time in the pilot's seat, but rather what you have done and seen while in that seat. Self-reliance and a clear understanding of the situations you have put yourself in will go far to ensuring safe and effective flight.
The question you need to ask yourself is:
Are you so committed to this goal that you would do anything and go anywhere to accomplish it? Your answer will tell you if you really have what it takes to be a great helicopter pilot. If your answer is yes, then you do.
