4.0 out of 5 stars
concise and well-illustrated, 21 July 2003
By Philip Greenspun - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Rotocraft Flying Handbook (FAA Handbook) (Paperback)
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).

5.0 out of 5 stars
A must read for those pursuing helicopter flight, 24 May 2004
By Larry "dararebear" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Rotocraft Flying Handbook (FAA Handbook) (Paperback)
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.

Easy to read and full of usefull information., 17 Jun 2001
By "zdaas" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Rotocraft Flying Handbook (FAA Handbook) (Paperback)
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. ...
