Faa Conversion Knowledge Test.
actuator replied to actuator's topic in General Helicopter Operations
Wrote the CCH. It was 40 questions, about 25 based on regulations, the other 15 pertained to sectionals and airspace. Hope this helps others. -
Faa Conversion Knowledge Test.
actuator replied to actuator's topic in General Helicopter Operations
I appreciate the responses, thank you gentlemen. I'll post an update following the test for other inquiring minds. -
Has anyone written the CCH Knowledge test? It is 40 questions, and I am curious if it is the same question base as the CRH exam (which I wrote just before the changes in process). Very last minute trip to write it so just hoping to prepare quickly. Thanks!

actuator replied to Phil Croucher's topic in General Helicopter Operations
Just wondering if anyone has a link about the agreement or maybe some info regarding what the agreement entails. -
Resurgence Of Entry Level Flying Jobs
actuator replied to Golden_pilot's topic in General Helicopter Operations
Finished my training 5 years ago. Got a job within a couple months like 10 of the 12 or so guys in my class. Today two are flying. Four got some stick time, but only 2 made it a career. If I had not been successful I wouldn't be posting. I am approaching 1000 hours and love my job. But I know I am part of the very small minority that makes it. Unfortunately I have met 40ish (probably more but don't want to over-estimate) industry-employed 100hr grads. Of those, four will be lucky to get into the seat (most already quit). I agree with the 10-20% flying success rate. To prospective flight school students: - You will find a job (non-flying) if you put in the time, effort, & money. - You will get paid pennies for busting your hump for 2-5 yrs. - You will have to try to remain positive but will end up bitter. - If you never complain to anyone about anything, go every extra inch possible, know when and how to kiss a$$ imperceptibly, and clean everything in sight you may get a shot at stirring the stick but won't remember 50% of what you learned in flight school. This industry is about people. Develop excellent working relationships with clients, pilots, engineers,and management and you may one day get a shot. (especially if 90% of your grad class already quit). Hope this help a few. -
Great article! Thanks for posting.
