Required reading

I ordered some manuals from Amazon to help with the book learnin' portions of my training. The flight school recommended Rotorcraft Flying Handbook as a good "all around review". An old work buddy of mine, Bob, recommended this as one he found useful; Principles of Helicopter Flight. Bob has a few helicopters of his own - yet another reason to trust his guidance.

Chris, welcome to the force side of aviation (fixed-wingers call flingwingers the dark side, but there're wrong!

There are somthing like 600,000 pilots in this country, but only about 30,000 can fly rotorcraft. Go for it! Join (I was going to say fraternity, but the women fly rotocraft just as well as us men do!).
