Helicopter Maneuvers Manual


Book Description

Providing a detailed look at helicopter maneuvers, the information in this guide helps to solidify concepts gained from flight training in a student pilot's mind by incorporating the Practical Test Standards into every maneuver description. The graphical and textual explanations work in conjunction with an instructor's lessons, allowing students to prepare before sessions and to review afterwards as well. There are many guides to flight maneuvers and how to fly them in airplanes but none specifically made for helicopters, and not in the complete and fully color-illustrated way as presented in "Helicopter Maneuvers Manual." This handbook will be of immense help to flight instructors teaching helicopter maneuvers, following the FAA's practical test standards for certification of helicopter pilots. This book not only helps in training but can also be used for reference throughout the helicopterpilot's flight career. It provides readers with a crystal-clear picture of what level of performance is expected of them every step and includes insights into the common errors associated with each move.

Flying the Bell 206 JetRanger


Book Description

This book is not a substitution for the helicopter flight manual and should not be treated as such. It is intended to give further information relating to the different sections of the flight manual and to explain the helicopter systems more clearly. I have added in some extra information where I felt it would be beneficial but overall I have tried to keep the book as simple as possible while still covering all the sections in the flight manual. This book will not teach you how to fly the aircraft. However it will give you the necessary technical information to conduct your flight safely. It is written with the new Jet Ranger pilot in mind. It is assumed that you already hold your private pilot's licence and have limited or no previous Jet Ranger experience.
