Description
Phil Croucher
One problem with helicoptering is that there are virtually
no flying clubs, at least of the sort that exist for
fixed wing, so pilots get very little chance to swap stories.
As a result, the same mistakes are being made and
the same lessons learnt separately instead of being
shared – it’s comforting sometimes to know that you’re
not the only one to inflate the floats by accident! This
book is an attempt to gather together as much information
as possible for helicopter pilots, old and new, professional
and otherwise, in an attempt to explain the
why, so the how will become easier. It has additional
chapters for two popular light helicopters (Bell 206 and
AS 350 Squirrel), including Public Transport standard
checklists, operating tips and other stuff likely to be useful to someone having to
convert to a different type. In short, this is all the stuff nobody teaches, but everybody
needs to learn.
