The Rotorcraft Flying Handbook is designed as a technical manual
for applicants who are preparing for their private, commercial, or
flight instructor pilot certificates with a helicopter or gyroplane
class rating. Certificated flight instructors may find this
handbook a valuable training aid, since detailed coverage of
aerodynamics, flight controls, systems, performance, flight
maneuvers, emergencies, and aeronautical decision making is
included. Topics, such as weather, navigation, radio navigation and
communications, use of flight information publications, and
regulations are available in other Federal Aviation Administration
(FAA) publications. This handbook conforms to pilot training and
certification concepts established by the FAA. There are different
ways of teaching, as well as performing flight procedures and
maneuvers, and many variations in the explanations of aerodynamic
theories and principles. This handbook adopts a selective method
and concept to flying helicopters and gyroplanes. The discussion
and explanations reflect the most commonly used practices and
principles. Occasionally, the word "must" or similar language is
used where the desired action is deemed critical. The use of such
language is not intended to add to, interpret, or relieve a duty
imposed by Title 14 of the Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR).
This handbook is divided into two parts. The first part, chapters 1
through 14, covers helicopters, and the second part, chapters 15
through 22, covers gyroplanes. The glossary and index apply to both
parts. It is essential for persons using this handbook to also
become familiar with and apply the pertinent parts of 14 CFR and
the Aeronautical Information Manual (AIM). Performance standards
for demonstrating competence required for pilot certification are
prescribed in the appropriate rotorcraft practical test standard.
This handbook supersedes Advisory Circular (AC) 61-13B, Basic
Helicopter Handbook, dated 1978. In addition, all or part of the
information contained in the following advisory circulars are
included in this handbook: AC 90- 87, Helicopter Dynamic Rollover;
AC 90-95, Unanticipated Right Yaw in Helicopters; AC 91-32B, Safety
in and around Helicopters; and AC 91-42D, Hazards of Rotating
Propeller and Helicopter Rotor Blades. FAA-H-8083-21
