PREFACE
The
Rotorcraft Flying Handbook
is designed as a technical manual for applicants who are preparing for their pri-
vate, commercial, or flight instructor pilot certificates with a helicopter or gyroplane 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 regula-
tions are available in other Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) publications.
This handbook conforms to pilot training and certification concepts established by the FAA. There are different
ways of teaching, as well as performing flight procedures and maneuvers, and many variations in the explanations
of aerodynamic theories and principles. This handbook adopts a selective method and concept to flying helicopters
and gyroplanes. The discussion and explanations reflect the most commonly used practices and principles.
Occasionally, the word “must” or similar language is used where the desired action is deemed critical. The use of
such language is not intended to add to, interpret, or relieve a duty imposed by Title 14 of the Code of Federal
Regulations (14 CFR). This handbook is divided into two parts. The first part, chapters 1 through 14, covers
helicopters, and the second part, chapters 15 through 22, covers gyroplanes. The glossary and index apply to
both parts.
It is essential for persons using this handbook to also become familiar with and apply the pertinent parts of 14 CFR
and the
Aeronautical Information Manual (AIM).
Performance standards for demonstrating competence required
for pilot certification are prescribed in the appropriate rotorcraft practical test standard.
