Whether you're struggling with training, facing setbacks, or just having a rough day, this video offers insights and encouragement to help you stay motivated and keep moving forward. Remember, every pilot has faced challenges-it's how you overcome them that defines your journey.

Just had my 3rd flight in the 60 course today.
Although not nearly as bad as the beginning of CC, sometimes it feels like you’re starting all the way back from square one. Can be very discouraging sometimes. But just need to keep pushing and doing the right thing.
Thanks for your videos as always brother
Yep, I remember feeling that way. Don’t worry you will learn the Black Hawk and you will love it. You have the right attitude. And thank you for the support I’m glad you like the channel. Reach out anytime if you need any advice.
Great video and explanation for new pilots that are just starting to learn or are heading to Ft. Novosel/Rucker. As we discussed before, I did two IP/SP tours at Rucker (85/89 & 91/94) I graduated from flight school in 1983. Not many Army pilots got to teach primary as it was/is all contractor taught, but I was selected (1992) to be a contract evaluation SP. To be signed off as a CEP Standarization Instructor Pilot, I had to teach one entire class of primary. This was the first time that I ever got to train students from day one! Coming from being a NVG IP to a daytime primary SP was all new to me; despite having over 2500 hours of IP time and 3200 total time, I was out of my comfort zone on the first few days! (yes students, even SP's have bad/nervous days!) My two students did well, and I served at the CEP job until 1994 until the Army decided that I needed to return to maintenance test pilot duties. (they sent me to a unit in Korea on a two-year tour and the unit was shutting down!) It took me almost two years to turn in those Hueys and I was then sent to another Huey unit which shut down 1+ years later. No chance of returning to Rucker while in the Army, so I retired in Korea with 4200+ hours in 15 years of flying! (CW4) I had a good career with the Marines and Army! (I did another 22+ years as a defense contractor, so 44+ years working for the military) My best wishes to all in Army Aviation! Great channel Deven!
Thank you for sharing your valuable insight-it's always a privilege to learn from someone with such an incredible career. I sincerely appreciate your service and your support for this channel. Comments like yours reaffirm that the content is resonating with the community, and for that, I'm truly grateful.
@@scud-runner Thanks! FYI, we had a few "abrasive" IP's at Rucker. Their students usually requested an IP change and a few times a year I would have to give up my students and accept the transferred students. They always excelled once they were treated calmly in an enjoyable learning syllabus in Combat Skills and N/NVG phases. I sure miss those days!
Heading to Novosel for AV BOLC, etc. in nov. Appreciate the content
Congrats! Good luck brother 🤙
Some guys shouldn't be IPs. That's the dirty little secret.
Haha, absolutely! Being an IP requires a genuine passion for teaching and the ability to adapt to different learning styles. It's definitely not a position for someone who's simply looking to log hours-it demands dedication to the craft and to the growth of those they instruct.
I know that feeling to well
Don’t we all 😂
