jmorrey Posted July 3, 2007 Posted July 3, 2007 Do you have (or can you provide) an electronic version of this book?I don't especially want a book, but I would be interested in a soft copy. <font color='#0000FF'>Lesson Plans for Helicopter Flight Instructors At last - it is here. For all you budding CFI's and CFII's out there there is a new book just hot off the press that you will find invaluable. Click on the link above to get to it. This book contains all of the following lesson plans - in full color.: Power and Drag Curves The Height Velocity Diagram Performance Weight & Balance Coriolis Effect Coning Dissymmetry of Lift Stability and Pendulocity Transverse Flow Effect Translating Tendency Effective Translational Lift Retreating Blade Stall Low G Conditions Loss of Tail Rotor Effectiveness Settling with Power (Vortex Ring State)The Normal Take off The Normal Approach The Pattern The Go Around The Pick Up and Set Down The Shallow Approach (with run on landing) The Steep Approach The Pinnacle Approach Maximum Performance Takeoff Quickstop (Precision Transition or Rapid Deceleration) Sloping Ground Surface Taxi Confined AreaDiversions Settling with Power Demonstration Engine Failure at altitude Straight in Autorotation Hovering Autorotation 180° Autorotation The Flight Controls The Carburetted fuel system Magnetic Compass Pilot Restraint Systems Pitot Static system Rotor Systems Electrical System Transmission System Airspace Special Use Airspace Airport Lights (runway environment & signals/aids) VFR Route Planning VFR Cloud Clearances Endorsements required by Student Pilots Airworthiness & Minimum Equipment Lists Hypoxia Hyperventilation The Eye Visual Illusions DrugsThe Characteristics of a CFIThe Responsibilities of a CFI Maslow’s Human Behaviour The Laws of Learning Evaluation Critique The Learning Process IFR regulations Primary and Supporting Scan method Emergencies in IMC IFR Clearances Holding Mandatory Reporting IFR Flight Planning Instrument Approach Plates Marker Beacons VOR’s Weather Services Low Level Windshear avoidance Diversion Overheads for Diversions lectureHypoxia Overheads for Hypoxia Lecture The best thing about this book is that the lesson plans are set out exactly as your whiteboard should look - not the standard "words only FAA type" plans that have no diagrams or pictorial explanations.This book is suitable for students too - giving precise and informative plans to revise from for any exam. And yes you guessed it - I wrote it, copywrited it and am now marketing it. I'd love it if you bought it. I'm still a CFII - many of you know me, and some have even been taught by me using these very plans. Thanks for listening. ::devil::</font> Quote
cavin Posted November 30, 2007 Posted November 30, 2007 <font color='#000000'>http://www.lulu.com/content/176642 ^^ link taken from the initial post ^^</font> I bought this book last year before I took my CFI checkride. It was not as good as I hoped for, but the only book on lesson plans that I could find. I guess you could say it is better than nothing, a good book to help you make your own better lesson plan.
