Helicopter Training DVDs & Books

Mike Becker's Helicopter Handbook

400 pages including over 500 graphics, pictures and diagrams on everything you have ever wanted to know on how to fly a helicopter. Ten years in writing, this informative and easy to read handbook is a must for professionals and pilots to be. Each chapter carries Mike Becker's enthusiasm, knowledge, experience, and love of helicopters and is designed with the learning pilot in mind. Due to the dynamics and expanse of information required in this industry anyone involved in helicopters must continually learn. The handbook takes you through every manoeuvre and flight sequence required in your helicopter training, and used in your ongoing career. From effects of controls through to sling loads, mountain flying, navigation, low flying and more. It breaks down the theory behind the flying, and takes you step by step through the flying exercise itself.
