Blue Hill Helicopters would like to congratulate Jeremy Jankowski on receiving his helicopter instrument rating.
There are a few milestones in an aviation career in helicopters. Your first time in a stable hover. First solo flight. The day you pass that first check ride. Everybody can remember them like it was yesterday. For a flight instructor, it's the day your first student passes his or her check ride. Not only is it a "look at 'em go" moment, it's affirmation of the course you've chosen to steer.
Permit a brief digression, if you please. Remember the first car you wanted? The one with the powerful engine, flashy paint job, and bucket seat for someone attractive alongside? If you're like me, that is not the car you got. Most of us got something dependable and safe. The car our mothers would have picked out on our behalf.
If Mom could have picked my first student, she would have chosen Jeremy. Talk about stacking the deck-this guy brought every advantage to the table. A 7,500 hour fixed wing pilot with his ATP airplane and private helicopter ratings. 15 years of experience in the industry. Willing to study hard, patient, a great fund of jokes, and let's face it- a very skilled pilot. Jeremy emailed us from Connecticut and from the beginning, you knew he was serious. He knew he needed 15 hours to complete his instrument add-on and with the 2 hour drive, he was going to be here all day when he had time off. Jeremy was looking for a Sikorsky 300 instrument trainer and a simulator.
Blue Hill was the perfect place for Jeremy to finish his rating in just a few visits on his days off- over the holidays no less. He was prepared every time and brought a great attitude to his flying that was infectious to be around. He easily skated through his check ride with our Designated Examiner, Mr. Don Cody. (We're lucky to have him do the majority of our practical tests but he deserves his own post. More later.) In fact, as he packed up his things to leave after issuing Jeremy his new rating, Don summarized Jeremy's time here in the phrase, "It has been a pleasure flying with you." Well said.
We will certainly try and post more this winter .. its not the lack of things going on but more the fact that we don't have time !!
