Master the Helicopter ACS (The Rotorcraft Collective)

One of the best ways to reduce the stress of a flight evaluation is solid preparation and understanding of the airman certification standards (ACS). Watch this video to understand the knowledge, risk management, and skills required to pass. Knowing what’s expected in each area means fewer surprises on the practical test day. Aim for a high score on the knowledge test because fewer missed questions mean fewer mandatory items to cover with the evaluator, which can lead to a quicker, less turbulent checkride.
