An excellent resource for students and flight instructors alike, the Helicopter Maneuvers Manual helps pilots acquire a mental picture of each phase of flight. With this comprehensive guide, author Ryan Dale has captured his countless hours spent at the whiteboard in full-color illustrations that show exactly what to do or expect in each part of a maneuver. The information in this guide helps pilots visualize concepts learned in flight training and incorporate the Practical Test Standards into every maneuver.

Cet ouvrage explique par l'image le mécanisme complexe de l'hélicoptère. Il donne les bases indispensables aux futurs pilotes et techniciens. 

Théorie élémentaire de l'hélicoptère est notamment utilisé par Eurocopter pour la formation des pilotes et techniciens de ses clients militaires et privés. Cette initiation à l'hélicoptère constitue une véritable exception. Les aspects fonctionnels complexes de cet appareil sont ici expliqués simplement, par une succession d'images couleurs soutenues par un texte attrayant.

Pilots, aviation students, kitplane builders, aircraft fleet operators and aeronautical engineers can all determine how their propeller-driven airplanes will perform, under any conditions, by using the step-by-step bootstrap approach introduced in this book. A few routine flying manoeuvres (climbs, glides, a level speed run) will give the necessary nine numbers. 

Provides an understanding of why conventional aircraft look and fly the way they do. This well written text covers turbofan and turboprop propulsion, subjects often avoided in other texts. New to the text is the treatment of wind effects on aircraft. Includes illustrative examples and references to practical piloting procedures and the significance of parameters.
