Wal Wagtendonk's detailed explanation of the principles of helicopter flight. A very comprehensive book prepared by a very experienced NZ aviation lecturer.
Even the first introductory flight can be valuable if the student is well prepared. The TIF book allows the student to think through the flight and therefore gain the most value from it.
The basic flight lessons are covered in the normal sequence of instruction and are clearly presented. While this DVD covers the specifics of the R22 it is also relevant to a student who wants to understand the basics of flying any helicopter.
This book describes the eight most common helicopter types and their systems. Packed with illustrations and photographs. Written clearly and concisely.
