Detailed and up-to-date information on exactly what rotorcraft pilot candidates will need to explain and demonstrate during the oral and practical portions of their final flight test is provided in this cockpit-sized booklet. Knowledge requirements such as preflight preparations and airport operations, skill requirements—including what hovering maneuvers should be executed—and areas of navigation and emergency procedures that must be mastered are discussed for both Section 1 (Helicopter) and Section 2 (Gyroplane) of the Rotorcraft test. Supplementary reference materials and areas of background study, which helps test takers learn the required matter and obtain their pilot licenses, are also described.
