FAA Rotorcraft Flying Handbook
 - 5 customer reviews.
The Basic Helicopter Handbook (Advisory Circular 61-13B) has been rewritten and renamed the Rotorcraft Flying Handbook. Written for applicants preparing for the private, commercial, or flight instructor certificate with a helicopter or gyroplane class rating, the book is also valuable to flight instructors as a teaching aid. Both aeronautical knowledge and skill for operating rotorcraft are covered.
The book is broken into two sections: the first dedicated to helicopters, and the second dedicated to gyroplanes. Each section includes chapters covering aerodynamics, flight controls, systems, the rotorcraft flight manual, flight maneuvers, emergencies, and aeronautical decision making. In addition, the helicopter section includes chapters on weight and balance, performance, attitude instrument flying, and night operations. The book concludes with a comprehensive glossary and index.
This new FAA-H-8083-21 replaces the AC 61-13B, and is the official source for all rotorcraft questions appearing on the FAA Knowledge Exams. 8 1/4" x 10 3/4", full color, 208-page softcover format, includes both a glossary and index; illustrated throughout.
