Book Reviews of Rotorcraft Flying Handbook

Book Review: The Best Reference for Flying Helicopters
Summary: 5 Stars

This is, by far, the best reference book for learning to fly helicopters. Not only does it explain all the aerodynamics and maneuvers, but it does so with diagrams and explanations that are actually EASY to understand. I've been a helicopter pilot for 8 years now, and I still occasionally turn to this book to refresh my knowledge before taking a Part 135 check ride.

Summary of Rotorcraft Flying Handbook

Designed by the Federal Aviation Administration, this handbook is the ultimate technical manual for anyone who flies or wants to learn to fly a helicopter or gyroplane. If you?re preparing for private, commercial, or flight instruction pilot certificates, it?s more than essential reading: it?s the best possible study guide available, and its information can be life saving. In authoritative and understandable language, here are explanations of general aerodynamics and the aerodynamics of flight, navigation, communication, flight controls, flight maneuvers, emergencies, engines, night operations, and much more. With full-color illustrations detailing every chapter, this is a one-of-a-kind resource for pilots and would-be pilots.
