This is a very well written and detailed manual. It does cover all the basics but also goes in to the nitty gritty of detail that will take you well in to your budding helicopter career. Well illustrated and well explained throughout. If you are just embarking on a helicopter course or need to brush up on your theory, this is the book for you.

By ReebieG
I bought this book as a Christmas present for my husband who extremely interested in Helicopters and is considering the possibility of doing the necessary training to become a pilot. I bought this book with alittle reservation, nothing to do with the book, but my man never reads any type of book....

but low and behold he is captured. Now I personally no nothing of becoming a helicopter pilot but my man seems to think this book is fantastic and highly recommends it. He has seen this book in many 'training packs' and really feels that he is gaining new knowledge from the book.

Brilliant!

Great! 30 Nov 2009
It's an excellent manual. Well written and with great illustrations and details.

All 'aspects' of helicopter handling, are covered.

Indeed, a manual that is a must to have for anyone that's interested in flying helicopters.

Just one word sums up this manual...GREAT!
