When Joel McCarthy came to us from the Boston police we were delighted to begin his training !
Joel has over 2000 hours flying Blackhawk helicopters and wanted to fly the most solid reliable training helicopter on the market today - the Schweizer 300CBi. Joel began his CFI training part time at the beginning of the year. He quickly progressed through the 1 on 1 ground school and passed both written tests right here at our FAA approved CATS testing center at the Norwood airport. With the ability to test students under our own roof , students can take the written test anytime.
Joel was able to work with some real life students here at Blue Hill Helicopters and they were all very happy to talk to him about his missions in Iraq. Joel and I worked part time on his teaching technique and quickly progressed to advanced autorotations and then on to touchdown autorotations , a requirement for the CFI rating. Joel was soon ready for the check ride and on Friday the 13th he spent the day with the examiner . After 4 hours of oral examination he went out to fly on a challenging flight !
Two hours later he returned with a smile and an Instructor rating ! Congrats Joel ! Joel will be teaching part time for Blue Hill Helicopters , if you want to know about flying Blackhawks in combat , come in and see Joel.
Monday will see yet another commercial check ride here at Blue Hill Helicopters ,watch this space for the outcome !
