DESCRIPTION:
Helpful book This book provides a basic overview of helicopter flying. This is a good book for initial training. It is written with a down-to-earth (no pun intended) feel, so it was easy to read and helped simplify some complex issues that were confusing me. I would recommend this book for anyone who is beginning their flight training or someone who has been out of flying for a while and in need of a refresher course regarding the basics.. "Informative, well-written, and an all-around fun book" according to Brandon H.. I read this book before I started my helicopter training just about two years ago. Since then, I have bought and read just about every book about rotary-wing aircraft that I can get my hands on. This book is fundamental in nature, but fairly complete none the less and an absolute joy to read. I recently read it again and loved it more than when I first picked it up. Of all the helicopter books I have read this one is still by far my favorite.. Great Beginner Book This book immediately draws you in and teaches you the basics. The first few chapters are really easy to read and understand. It does get harder at the end but by then you're hooked. I read this one before moving on the FAA manual. If I had started with the FAA manual I would have been completely lost.
An introduction to helicopter flying techniques, many of which are difficult to master, as well as a discussion of emergency procedure, human factors, advanced operations and even a section on careers.
"Written in a conversational style that's both fun and easy to read Even if you're a confirmed fixed-wing pilot and show no rotor-wing tendencies, you'll enjoy this book and gain an insight into your brother pilots' obsessions." -- AG-Pilot International
