DESCRIPTION:
Dissappointing I was very much dissappointed in this purchase.It was not of the level I was looking for especially when it is a Syllabus book for studies with my Civil Aviation Authority. This is basic reading and seems to go way off track into turbines half way through the book. There are missing topics of importance with regards to the reciprocating engines.Try and review in a bookstore first but it does not meed the Grade for PPL Exams.
It also aims to instruct and help the would-be pilot to pass the PPL(H) and is concerned with the mechanical aspects of the examination. The large section on gas-turbine engines provides essential reading for those pilots wishing to convert to the type. This second volume of Helicopter Pilot's Manual provides a natural follow-on to Norman Bailey's first manual. Of primary importance are the chapters on piston and turbine powerplants, airworthiness, flight instruments and hydraulics. The book is well illustrated with many diagrams and cutaway engine plans, the style is easy to understand and pleasant to read, but nevertheless conveys all the necessary vital information.
