This will be of great use to other newbs in learning how to operate this incredible sim..

A great manual I own is "Principles of Helicopter Flight" by W. J. Wagtendonk. It's amazingly easy to understand and there are loads of exercises. Another fun book is "Fatal Traps for Helicopter Pilots" by Greg White. Got both on Amazon.ca

Everything else is baggage :thumbup:

I use the FAA helicopter pilot manual and a US NAVY heli manual as study materials

I disagree, don't waste time worrying about something you can't control.

One of the things you only start to worry about, when it's gone.

Direct download link from the FAA site.

 

How about "Army Field Manual FM 1-203, Fundamentals Of Flight, 9 September , 1983". Can't find the .pdf version of it. Does someone have it? Pretty old, but I've read it's really comprehensive (both rotor & fixed).

Thanks for the links.

The 203 is a good way to go. We use this manual for initial entry students. It's an easy read and explains very well all the fundamentals of rotor-craft flight.

 

Now once you have read it a couple of times, you'll be able to start asking some deep questions, which the answers for will also be present in the book.

 

So this is a great reference regardless of experience level.

@ Cobra Driver

 

Thanks for the info. Is this cleared for public release? There are several sites with army field manuals as PDF files, but this particular one is nowhere to be found.

[CobraDriver]

Let me check into that tonight at work and then if it is I'll email/pm it you

[Jascha]

That would be great! :)

[CobraDriver]

check your pm's

This should make it easy for all.

 

The 203 previously mentioned is the older manual that was in circulation. This is the updated ver. Even more user friendly with updated terms, concepts and content.

 

Enjoy

I'm just starting out as an aircraft technician for the ARA (Army in the land of Oz), and I read this book which can be found in some good 2nd book stores, or amazon.

 

Learning to Fly Helicopters by R. Randall Padfield. If you can find it, it's a good introductory read.
