Book Description

Rattler One-Seven puts you in the helicopter seat, to see the war in Vietnam through the eyes of an inexperienced pilot as he transforms himself into a seasoned combat veteran. At the age of twenty, Chuck Gross spent his 1970-71 tour with the 71st Assault Helicopter Company flying UH-1 Huey helicopters. He inserted special operations teams into Laos and participated in Lam Son 719, a misbegotten attempt to assault and cut the Ho Chi Minh Trail, during which his helicopter was shot down and he was stranded in the field.

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. You should be familiar with flying techniques, as this book will not teach you how to fly.
