Ryan Dale is a helicopter and airplane Certified Flight Instructor (CFI) who enjoys encouraging people as much as he enjoys flying. Starting his aviation journey in 2000, Ryan has personally trained hundreds of helicopter pilots and impacted thousands more through his written works.
At the start of his career, while Ryan was working towards his instructor certificate, he saw the need for more resources for aspiring helicopter pilots. He wrote the Helicopter Oral Exam Guide (2006) and Helicopter Maneuvers Manual (2011) to help other pilots pass exams and reach their goals in flying. Now, in light of the recent FAA update from Practical Test Standards (PTS) to Airman Certification Standards (ACS), Ryan felt the need to give the helicopter community an updated resource to complement helicopter training with the new ACS.
In recent years, Ryan has extended his expertise beyond the cockpit to his online training platform 3G Heli Prep, where he offers affordable, comprehensive helicopter pilot courses and personal tutoring. From aspiring pilots taking their first discovery flight to seasoned pilots seeking advanced certifications, Ryan is dedicated to making the dream of flying accessible and affordable for anyone.
Ryan currently resides in North Idaho with his wife, son, and daughter. When he’s not in the air, writing, or developing coursework, you will find him sharing his journey on social media and encouraging others.
