Study Guides for Tools for Aviators

MULTIPLE AVENUES OF APPROACH
Army aviators are required to absorb--and retain--a massive amount of information, keeping it all available for instant recall. Failing to remember may mean as little as a few missed points on a check ride; for more important things like Emergency Procedures (EPs) and Operating Limitations, your knowledge could be the difference between life and death. While some people can absorb all they need to know out of the -10s and manuals, or even from flash cards, most people learn best when presented with information in a variety of formats, printed, visual, audio, etc. For this reason, we provide a number of study guides and tools which allow you to learn in a variety of ways, that will make your study time more interesting, more productive, and help you better retain the information you need to know.

I HAVE FLASH CARDS... DO I NEED STUDY GUIDES?
Our flash cards are built to provide perfection in rote memorization, which is a mandatory skill for Army aviators. The cards tell you what you need to know and how to say it, straight out of the -10 and Operator's Supplement. What they don't provide is understanding. For example, a new flight student can memorize from the flash cards all the numbers that comprise N1 limitations, but may not even know what the N1, Gas Producer, is. Our study guides go into greater detail and draw from a number of sources, not just the -10, in order to help you build a base of knowledge under the numbers you memorized.

Also, the flash cards focus on chapters 5 and 9, Emergency Procedures and Operating Limitations. For a check ride, much more information is fair game for questioning (think about the giant box of publications Army aviators are issued in flight school). We do the hard work for you, extracting the most important excerpts from the Army manuals, regulations, and publications and construct guides specifically built to help you learn exactly what you need to know for your evaluations.

AIRCRAFT
The study guides we write are primarily for the the Army's training helicopter, the TH-67 Creek. The learning curve at flight school is incredibly steep, and many new aviators have trouble adjusting to the massive amount of information the Army requires its pilots to memorize. For that reason, we prepare a number of guides designed to assist new aviators. However, if you have an idea for a study guide you think we should write that would be of assistance to senior aviators, please let us know.

While most of the study guides we've written are for the TH-67, we do have many additional study tools available for the advanced aircraft, including audio CDs, reference CDs, training packets and more.
