Format:Paperback
The POH/FM for the R22 provides far more detail about most of the topics disucssed in this thin book as well as many others. Understandably the author is reluctant to give definitive numbers or recommendations and leaves this to the manufacturers which makes this book rather pointless.
The best bits are a fairly detailed look at the components of the R22, but you should expect to learn this from any instructor teaching you the type.
I don't think this book contained any new information for me (a student pilot) and I recommend you don't waste your money buying it.

If you're going to rewrite the POH...
15 July 2008
Format:Paperback
for godsakes at least rewrite it well! The low-quality of the writing gets in the way of extracting any useful info from this book, and is downright confusing in many places. But what rips me more than anything else is that 95% of the material in this book is from your POH. The rest of it is inapplicable for US students or isn't particularly insightful. Spend some time with your POH and you'll get the official, updated info, straight from Robinson. The POH is well-written and 100% accurate.

Intro to Helicopter flight
14 Aug 2007
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
I decided to try about ten hours in training for piloting a helicopter. I don't intend to complete this work as of my age and the cost prohibit my considering a career as a helicpter pilot. However, as an airplane pilot I was curious. The book Robinson R22 was very helpful as it covers the preflight inspection very well with pictures and location of the varous parts. Along with good flight instruction it helps anticipate the problems of controlling a very difficult machine. I would recommend both the R22 as a good training machine and the book as a constant companion when out of the helicopter but anticipating the next lesson.
