Great Reference for Helicopter Pilots, New or Old,
By
This review is from: Rotary Wing Flight (FAA Handbooks) (Paperback)
This is the same book I used in U.S. Army flight school over 25 years ago. It's still a very accurate, credible and valuable reference. I'm now using it to teach Masters level college courses. I strongly recommend it for anyone interested in becoming an aviation professional or a private pilot.
