Kenny Keller explains why the FAA's Rotorcraft Flying Handbook is essential for helicopter pilots at every level. It replaced the Basic Helicopter Handbook from 1978 and serves as the authoritative reference for students through examiners.
Did I preach to you about that one yet? No, I preached to you about it already. Right. Real, real quick. This is what the FAA says you should be using. Student pilot, private pilot, commercial pilot, instructor pilot, designated pilot, examiner. This is the book. And when I started training in 97, they had me get the basic helicopter handbook dated 1978. Basically all the same information is still in this book, but it was a really boring old. No pictures, horrible drawings of stupid little helicopters. This was put out as to supersede the Basic Helicopter Handbook that I trained out of. So if you. Any of your checkrides, if you give the examiner an answer out of this book, you're golden. Now if it's some other book, you know, he might go, what book's that at? Or what book is that? This book refers.
To that one constant.
Okay, so this is your bible. Who writes this one?
This is. And I just went on Sporty's, and that had a pretty high rating. Everybody I.
Knew to get this one.
Because I had the Flying Handbook.
For Fixed Wing. Yeah, I have all my fixed wing books.
He refers to this a lot.
Glory, you gonna do any film.
