Book Reviews of Helicopter Pilot's Handbook Of Mountain Flying & Advanced Techniques (Airlife Pilot's Handbooks)
Book Review: Essential Reading
Summary: 5 Stars
This isn't a book you sit down and read, take some notes on, or highlight. I found myself reading it lightly to familiarize myself with what info was where, then going back (many times) and studying short sections when I was thinking through some scenario, critiquing an earlier flight, or getting ready for a flight.
For students, this takes off-airport operations far beyond what you'll get from reading any required material. And probably tells you things you'll otherwise have to figure out on your own or from chance opportunities from flying with a high-timer. If I'd had it for my private, I'd have skimmed it right before starting confined space and pinnacle operations--this goes into way more detail than the RFM does. I can't imagine that this wouldn't also greatly benefit the commercial pilot or those moving from air taxi and tour operations to external loads and other cool skills (there are chapters on external load operations, night flying, and things I won't get to do for years).
On the downside, sometimes the writing is a little awkward and confusing. The perspective offered by this manual overrides any negative tho.

Summary of Helicopter Pilot's Handbook Of Mountain Flying & Advanced Techniques (Airlife Pilot's Handbooks)
There is a growing interest in mountain flying and a significant lack of information on the subject available to the helicopter pilot. The aim of this book is to supply this much-needed information and to present it in an easy-to-read format. In this handbook safe mountain flying techniques are explained in simple, non-technical language. The author also explains Advanced Techniques which are not covered in other training manuals and which will be of particular interest to pilots already holding their helicopter license.
