Publisher Comments:


This unique book, written from the perspective of the pilot provides a detailed, yet easy to understand overview of the theory and practice of helicopters. It covers nearly all aspects of learning to fly a helicopter, from basic theory through autopilots. It offers detailed explanations for both the beginner and advanced pilots on performance, handling and the mechanics of helicopters. The beginner section covers fundamentals of helicopter theory, aerodynamics, performance and flying. Examples are based around piston engine helicopters and are given from a cockpit perspective. The advanced section is for professional pilots, as well as those who want to know more about helicopters and how they work. It covers turbine helicopters with more advanced systmes.
