Rotorcraft Flying Handbook: FAA - H808321

Rating:
Summary: A must read for those pursuing helicopter flight
Review: A very well written book explaining many areas of helicopter flight. I found everything to be written very well, and was benefitted by the color graphs, pictures, and layouts concerning all the intricacies of helicopter flight. If you are interested in helicoipter flight, or are wanting a more in-depth look into all the aspects of rotorcraft flight, this is the perfect book to buy, hands down. From basic flight controls, flight in general and in-depth looks into aerodynamics, this book has it all. I highly recommend this book to anyone wanting a more thorough knowledge of rotary wing flight; beginner to expert, this book will compliment anyone's knowledge and skill when it comes to helicopter flight.

Summary: Short, full of info, and effective
Review: Great book, clears lots of questions for both, new pilots and pros. Also good, because its the first book, which has a "gyroplane"section, covering lots of issues on that new aircraft type.I'd avise it to all my flying friends. ...

Review: It explains basic details and expands upn them slightly. Not a huge amount of information but more than enough. Explains things thoroughly and well, and provides good glossary and index. Full of Charts and diagrams too.

Rating:
Summary: concise and well-illustrated
Review: It isn't great literature but there are very few wasted words in this book, which is the only textbook used at the flight school where I have been getting my helicopter training. The color diagrams and charts are immensely helpful in understanding aerodynamics. This book teaches you pretty much everything useful for flying helicopters that you can learn from reading a book (i.e., not all that much; don't expect to hold a hover until after a few hours of painful practice).
