This is not a conventional book. It is a departure from the traditional paragraph style found in most books. This is a fresh and fun approach to the unbelievably complex world of aviation written in an online style that gets to the heart of the facts without wasting time on irrelevant babble.

Easy-to-read outline form explanations list all the relevant facts, highlighted with bold underline text that automatically emphasizes the important words. You cannot find an easier to read book that tackles such a formidable mountain of subject matter.

Richie has the unique ability to simplify the complicated and examine in extreme detail what you thought was simple, with a humorous hint of sarcasm laced throughout intends to keep you from falling asleep.

This is the ULTIMATE REFERENCE BOOK that explains all aspects of aviation from props to heavy jets.

Clear, down-to-earth explanations of essentially all the up-to-minute aviation rules and regulations relevant to all pilots for use in everyday real world scenarios.

Practical, straight-to-the-information, with wisdom gleaned from years of real world experience flying the line.

The most complete index ever created. All subjects are listed by every possible key word that could possibly come to mind, even if it is a slang term.

Written from a pilot's perspective, this unique book provides a comprehensive overview of helicopter flying. It provides an unparalleled insight into all aspects of the modern helicopter, from turbine engines to Automatic Flight Control System, including descriptions of phenomena not explained elsewhere.

The book is arranged in two parts:

Beginner's section which covers the fundamentals of helicopter theory, performance and flying. Numerous examples of how different fundamentals interact, as seen from the cockpit, are presented.

Advanced section covers material relevant to those who already know how to fly helicopters but are interested in understanding more about the machine. This section uses many of the chapter headings of the first part but goes into much greater detail. The material on autorotations is the most comprehensive in any book on helicopters and the viewpoint is always from the cockpit.

Review by Helicopter International

The author is a well-established helicopter test pilot, with considerable experience too of more commercial flying in some of the demanding areas of the world. Consequently he is well qualified to provide advice and guidance for both the beginner pilot and the professional, as well as those who want to know more about helicopters and how they work.

However to dispense that advice needs more than experience. It also needs a pilot who can write in an easy-going, explainable manner, ideally with a sense of humour to keep the reader awake and interested. Fortunately Shawn Coyle has that knack and this, his second book on the art and science of flying helicopters, is a pleasure to learn from.
