GET TO KNOW THE SCHOOL
A closer look.
The website supplied for this Fort Wayne Helicopters listing now presents Helicopter Online Ground School, or HOGS, led by Kenny Keller. Its core products are online helicopter study courses for private, instrument, commercial, and instructor goals, with model-specific resources and radio-communication material. A separate Final Approach course offers individual in-person preparation for pilots who already have their experience requirements completed and need to finish a qualification. The provider’s current pages describe this as a selective finish-up service, not a general promise to take every beginner through all flight training. The relationship to the imported Bourbon business listing requires confirmation.
Online course focus
The HOGS homepage offers private, instrument, commercial, and flight instructor study products and a combined professional package.
Study resources
The private course advertises video lessons, quizzes, progress tracking, mobile access, radio communications, and R22, R44, and Enstrom study topics. These are learning subjects, not a verified rental fleet.
Selective finish-up program
The Final Approach page describes one-student-at-a-time preparation for applicants who already meet their experience requirements and states a U.S.-citizenship entry condition.

Current business-name continuity, the local training address, and the in-person aircraft fleet need confirmation.
Training framework & verification
Part 61: Part 61 inferred in supplied source; not independently confirmed. A source listing is not a current FAA approval check or a quality rating.
FAA reference: faa.gov. Confirm the approved course and training location with the school. Part 61 describes training rules; it does not itself identify an FAA-certificated school.
TRAINING FIT
Our school review.
HOGS is most relevant to a helicopter learner comparing structured remote study or an experienced applicant seeking concentrated practical-test preparation. The difference between buying online membership and being accepted for the in-person finish-up course is central. Ask which knowledge-test endorsements are supported, what access continues after cancellation, and whether your logbook meets the finishing program’s entry conditions. The supplied site does not verify a currently operating Bourbon-based fleet under the original directory name.
