Private Pilot Rotorcraft Practical Test Standards For Helicopter And Gyroplane

Detailed and up-to-date information on exactly what rotorcraft pilot candidates will need to explain and demonstrate during the oral and practical portions of their final flight test is provided in this cockpit-sized booklet. Knowledge requirements such as preflight preparations and airport operations, skill requirements--including what hovering maneuvers should be executed--and areas of navigation and emergency procedures that must be mastered are discussed for both Section 1 (Helicopter) and Section 2 (Gyroplane) of the Rotorcraft test. Supplementary reference materials and areas of background study, which helps test takers learn the required matter and obtain their pilot licenses, are also described.
