New Helicopter Book !!!


Recommended Posts

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.

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.:

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.

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.
