Helicopter Training Syllabus

There is a saying amongst the flying fraternity: “To fly is heaven but to hover is divine”. Helicopter Training Syllabus is an ebook that deals with initial helicopter training (Private Pilot’s License). Primarily the ebook serves as a preparation guide that covers every training sequence as found in a typical helicopter training syllabus. An example of a sequence is “Basic in ground effect hover”. In order for a student to prepare for a sequence the ebook describes what the aim is of the exercise, what exactly will be done during the practical phase and why a specific sequence has to be flown.


Each sequence in the ebook also has a section which leads a student to specific aerodynamic principles that can be studied beforehand and that pertains to a specific exercise that will be flown. It stands to reason that a principle of helicopter flight text book is required by a student but it does not matter which one as the guide will spell out what exactly must be covered in order to prepare for an exercise. At the end of each sequence are a couple of questions that can be used to test a student’s knowledge about what was covered in the theory.
