I have been training at AAI for the past few weeks and passed my rotorcraft /gyroplane add on rating tody with Jim Mayfield as the examiner. Flying the modified RAF's there was a great experience.

Great News Rob,

If you get a chance, could you post your whole training experience with AAI. I think many would like to know about training in AZ.

Rob,

Good going!!. I'm glad it all came together for you. You'll have to let me know tough an examiner Jim is. I'll be facing him myself in the not too distant future for my first ever check ride :-*

Thanks all.

Regarding the practical test: Terry Brandt the instructor is VERY thorough with both ground school and flying. Passing the oral was easy because Terry will make sure you have all the knowledge before you get to the practical test. Terry is very patient in teaching both the book knowledge and in demonstrating the flying manuvers until you are profficient.

Jim was a very fair examiner and really went out of his way to help me relax during the test. He continually stressed what he would be looking for and repeatedlly told me to take my time and get properly set up for each manuver. The flight review lasted only an hour and was both airwork and landings.

Email me offline if you have any specific questions.
