Helicopter Flying Handbook
FAA-H-8083-21A with ERRATA Listing. U.S. Department of Transportation, Federal Aviation Administration, Airmen Testing Standards Branch
FAA | 2012 | ISBN: n/a | 199 pages | PDF | 84 MB


This Handbook is designed as a technical manual for applicants who are preparing for their private, commercial, or flight instructor pilot certificates with a helicopter class rating. Certificated flight instructors may find this handbook a valuable training aid, since detailed coverage of aerodynamics, flight controls, systems, performance, flight maneuvers, emergencies, and aeronautical decision-making is included. Topics such as weather, navigation, radio navigation and communications, use of flight information publications, and regulations are available in other Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) publications.

The handbook conforms to pilot training and certification concepts established by the FAA.
