Synopsis

Twenty years in writing, this informative aviation theory book on navigation is a must for any helicopter pilot.

Navigation for Helicopter Pilots is written by Captain Mike Becker, one of Australia's most experienced helicopter instructors. With over 16,000 flight hours and recipient of the "Captain John Ashton Award for Flight Standards and Aviation Safety" by the Guild of Air Pilots and Air Navigators of London, Mike's experience provides invaluable insights and real hands-on knowledge.

Mike Becker started flying in 1984. His career has been as diverse as the number of helicopter types he has flown - the smaller R22 to the larger B212 and Sikorski S62, and most types in between.  As Chief Pilot and Head of Training Operations, Mike has managed and operated a fleet of over 20 helicopters while employing a team of more than 30 instructors to deliver over 10,000 turbine training hours per year. This book captures his experience and the breadth of knowledge of the team of flight instructors who, over the years, have contributed to the continual improvement of this book.

This book has been tried and tested in the classroom by hundreds of civil and military students from all over the world who have benefited from the concise, informative and practical writing style.  

This book is easy to read, and contains hundreds of colour photographs, illustrations and diagrams. It is a valued addition to any helicopter pilot's collection.
