Printed in Color. Released in 2019, for use in 2024. This is the FAA Helicopter Flying Handbook FAA-H-8083-21B. This handbook supersedes FAA-H-8083-21A, Helicopter Flying Handbook, dated 2012.... This description may be from another edition of this product.
The "Rotorcraft Flying Handbook" does not actually teach you how to fly but the closest you can come to it. It takes every aspiring and already accomplished heli-enthusiast through the quite comprehensive world of rotating wing aeronautics. It makes it both interesting and informative, scientific and practical, easy and demanding and leaves you with a remaining strong wish to get down to business by getting into the pilot seat and fly. A great book!

Usually governent publications are lenghty, confusing and boring BUT NOT THIS ONE! It is an outstanding training and reference manual covering all aspects of rotorcraft flying. The language is clear and concise. Graphics are in color and easily understood. Highly recommended for students and anyone interested in learning how rotorcraft fly.

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.
