This second volume of the "Helicopter Pilot's Manual" provides a natural follow-on to Norman Bailey's first manual. It also aims to instruct and help the would-be pilot to pass the PPL(H) and is concerned with the mechanical aspects of the examination. The large section on gas-turbine engines provides essential reading for those pilots wishing to convert chapters on piston and turbine powerplants, airworthiness, flight instruments and hydraulics. <
