Rotorcraft Flying Handbook (Updated Edition)

[swisster]

Hey all,

 

I just found out that there is going to be an updated edition released of the Rotorcraft Flying Handbook (FAA) on May 11th.

 

I know, this is not earth shattering news, but I just wanted to spread the word.

 

Happy Easter,

I wonder what the changes are?

Maybe fix the typos?

I was reading chapter 3 in the 2000 edition last night and they wrote "decease" instead of "decrease" in reference to driving/driven regions of the blade during autorotative flight (I think). As if autorotations weren't scary enough for a noob. That's a doozy as far as typos go!

I'll believe it when I see it. It was supposed to have been done last year about that same time.

hmmm...looks like Kandace nailed it. Anyone have any credible updates? swisster, do you have a source for your info?

The FAA has not yet updated the book, but you can now get it as an audiobook! We released it earlier this month. If they release a new version soon, we'll be updating the audiobook too.
