I am currently a Gold Bar Recruiter until I go to flight school May 2010. Until then I have plenty of idle time on my hands. I just enrolled on flight school study guid . com. They have a bunch of manuals to study. I keep hearing about studying your 5 and 9. What is this refering to? Also in what order should I read and study the publications. Any advice would be appreciated. Thank you.
Honestly, if I were you I wouldn't study a thing until I started flight school. You'll have plenty of time to start the 5/9 stuff (referring to chapters 5 and 9 or limits and emergency procedures of the -10) once you get to rucker. If you get it all memorized now unless you keep on it you'll forget it and plus you gotta go through a whole bunch of other stuff, SERE, BOLC III etc. in which you prolly won't study that stuff too much.
I was super motivated when I was goldbaring too but studying 5/9 didn't do me much good till I actually got into the chute for primary. Enjoy the time when you don't have to study. JMHO.
Cool thankyou. I just figured if I learned some of that stuff now, when I did get to flight school it would be a bit easier on my because I'd be re-learning that stuff. And re-learning comes back alot easier than trying to learn it the first time. Thanks for the advice.
I'm gonna have to agree with snake on this one. Limits(5) and Emergency Procedures(9) are very easily forgotten if not looked at on a regular basis. I was on hold for two weeks recently because of an IP shortage and I was amazed how rusty I was on those subjects when I got back into the 60. Subjects like aerodynamics however are universal with every helicopter and would be a good thing to start brushing up on. I did this before I started flight school and found it to be beneficial. Look at things like disymmetry of lift and retreating blade stall for instance. Having an understanding of the physics behind rotary wing flight goes a long way. Just my 2 cents
Gee traffic thanks for that awsome piece of advice Airborn thanks for the info. That's kind of what I meant. I should have said what should I study for. Good advice. Cheers all.
