Why This Course?

🛑The Problem:

Most flight instructors just want to fly, they don't like teaching ground school but they do it because they have to. Most of them are new (less than 500 hours of instruction given) so they don't have a lot of life experience.

They do the best they can, but at the end of the day, you want to learn from an industry expert with high-quality ground training.

One-on-one instruction is expensive, believe me I paid through the nose for my training, and that was back in the early 2000's when it was much cheaper. Expect to spend $2,500+ on your ground instruction! This course is a great way to save $1000's!!!

✅The Solution:

There are no ‘algorithms’ or ‘mass-produced software’. Just real instruction from a real pilot who has been there and done that.

With over 20 years of experience, I’ve developed a proven method to teach thousands of students to fly helicopters. I’m the living proof that it works.


Our online courses allow students to learn at their own pace and from the comfort of their homes. This flexibility is ideal for those who cannot commit to the rigid schedules of traditional flight schools.


By offering online ground school courses, 3G Heli Prep helps students save money on ground instruction. This makes our programs more affordable compared to the often higher costs of local flight schools.


Students at 3G Heli Prep have access to a wide range of study materials, including study sheets, practice tests, and detailed guides on various aspects of helicopter flying, ensuring they are well-prepared for all exams.


Our courses are designed to cater to individual needs, allowing students to focus on areas where they need the most help. This personalized approach can be more effective than the one-size-fits-all methods used in many local schools.

❗Caution:

Please note: 3G Heli Prep’s approach is very different from traditional flight schools. If you’re someone who doesn’t like new methods, our approach might not be a good fit for you.

If you just want to take a scenic helicopter flight, then book a quick tour at your local airport. A short flight might be enough for you to scratch that itch, and it’s quicker than committing to comprehensive ground training with us.

So think carefully if this course is a good fit for you!!
