Expanding on the information included in the manufacturer's official flight manual, which is compiled in strictly controlled test conditions, this guide details the performance and handling characteristics and limitations of the popular Robinson R22 helicopter in real-world flight conditions. It includes specialized preflight checklists, listing of R22 manufacturer safety notices, and preflight planning conversion tables providing pilots with invaluable information about what to expect when flying an R22 and how to operate one safely in a wide variety of flight situations.
Providing a detailed look at helicopter maneuvers, the information in this guide helps to solidify concepts gained from flight training in a student pilot's mind by incorporating the Practical Test Standards into every maneuver description. The graphical and textual explanations work in conjunction with an instructor's lessons, allowing students to prepare before sessions and to review afterwards as well. There are many guides to flight maneuvers and how to fly them in airplanes but none specifically made for helicopters, and not in the complete and fully color-illustrated way as presented in "Helicopter Maneuvers Manual." This handbook will be of immense help to flight instructors teaching helicopter maneuvers, following the FAA's practical test standards for certification of helicopter pilots. This book not only helps in training but can also be used for reference throughout the helicopterpilot's flight career. It provides readers with a crystal-clear picture of what level of performance is expected of them every step and includes insights into the common errors associated with each move.
The purpose of this book is to provide new pilots with a source of readily available information and act as a resource for instructors to transfer knowledge and visualize flight maneuvers. The information is intended to be found quickly when needed. Private Pilot Handbook is a reference book and has been developed specifically for those interested in acquiring or in need of a flight review for a Private Pilot License (PPL). Private Pilot Handbook covers a range of subject matters associated with Private Pilot Airman Certification Standards (ACS), Maneuvers, Oral/Written/Practical Exam Guide, VFR Communication Practices, ATC, and Comprehensive Private Pilot Glossary. Private Pilots must become familiar with continuously changing regulations and procedures. The Private Pilot Handbook is designed for student pilots, ground instructors, flight instructors, and others with a special interest in aviation. The main topics in private pilot training are briefly explained on a need-to-know basis, while topics students frequently have the most difficulty in are given in detail. Every pilot should be familiar with and use the current FAR-AIM, PilotOperation Handbook (POH), and Aircraft Flight Manual (AFM). The main sources used in the preparation of the Private Pilot Handbook are the aviation publications stated in the Airmen Certification Standards (ACS) in Figure 2B. For testing guidance, "underlined text and notes" cover questions asked in the written and practice exams.
Whether you are a student pilot studying to get a license or a qualified pilot learning to fly the Robinson R44 helicopter, this is the book you need. All of the helicopter systems are described in detail. With lots of pictures and diagrams to help you find every piece of equipment you need.This book is not a substitution for the Pilot's Operating Handbook and should not be treated as such. However it will give you further information relating to the different sections of the flight manual and to explain the helicopter systems more clearly. This is essential for any pilot. Pilots need to understand the aircraft systems thoroughly and will regularly be tested on their knowledge during flight checks. Everything you need to know is in this book. The preflight checklists and start-up procedure are described in great detail. Photos and diagrams show the location of difficult to find parts. Extra information has been added wherever possible and there is an added section describing the flight maneuvers for the R44 helicopter.This book will not teach you how to fly the aircraft. However it will give you the necessary technical information to conduct your flight safely.
