Flying the Bell 206 JetRanger

Author: John Toal
Publisher:
ISBN: 9781481142571
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 338

Book Description
This book is not a substitution for the helicopter flight manual and should not be treated as such. It is intended to give further information relating to the different sections of the flight manual and to explain the helicopter systems more clearly. I have added in some extra information where I felt it would be beneficial but overall I have tried to keep the book as simple as possible while still covering all the sections in the flight manual. This book will not teach you how to fly the aircraft. However it will give you the necessary technical information to conduct your flight safely. It is written with the new Jet Ranger pilot in mind. It is assumed that you already hold your private pilot's licence and have limited or no previous Jet Ranger experience. You should be familiar with flying techniques, as this book will not teach you how to fly.
