Instrument Flying Handbook: Faa-H-8083-15b, Federal Aviation Administration

This handbook provides information and guidance on the procedures and maneuvers required for pilot certification. In addition to a basic introduction to the helicopter, readers will find chapters on aerodynamics, flight controls, components and systems, the rotorcraft flight manual, weight and balance, performance, ground procedures, basic and advanced flight maneuvers, emergencies and hazards, attitude instrument flying and night operations.

The Helicopter Flying Handbook is the official FAA source for learning to fly helicopters and is a primary reference for the FAA Knowledge Exams. Complete with chapter summaries and illustrated throughout with detailed, full-color drawings and photographs. It also includes a comprehensive glossary and index.

• FULL COLOR THROUGHOUT: the theory and practice of helicopter flight cannot be fully explained or adequately understood with black-and-white illustrations; color is vital. This edition uses full color from start to finish.
• FULL-SIZE 8.5" x 11" edition: large, easy-to-read text and illustrations.
• CASEBOUND: hardcover binding looks great and protects your book from everyday damage.
• Printed on PREMIUM-WEIGHT 70 lb paper stock for superior quality & longevity: ideal for professional libraries

The Helicopter Flying Handbook is a technical manual for pilots who are preparing for their private, commercial, or flight instructor pilot certificates with a helicopter class rating.

Aviators use air navigation to determine where they are going and how to get there. This handbook serves as a reference for techniques and methods used in these critical skills, covering all aspects of air navigation for navigators and students, including how to measure, chart the earth, and use flight instruments to solve navigation problems.

It also provides information on flight publications, in-flight procedures and low-altitude navigation, and includes reference and supporting material covering mathematical equations, chart and navigational symbols, and celestial computation aids.
