The introductory flying lesson is, for most people, the first time they have taken the controls and discovered the unique sensation of piloting a helicopter. For some it is just the start of their flying career, for others it is a once in a lifetime encounter, for all it will be an unforgettable experience. The Introductory Helicopter Flying Lesson has been written to help the reader get the most from this flight. It covers, in straightforward terms, what is involved in this flight: how to prepare and what to expect. The basic principles of flying a helicopter are covered, together with background information and advice on all aspects of the flight. Furthermore, The Introductory Helicopter Flying Lesson goes on to describe the Private Pilot's Licence itself, and the course of training that leads to it. This is the book for anybody who has ever thought about takingup flying and who wants to get the best from their introductory flight.

The second book in the 'PPL Course' series and the first time that the complimentary subjects of Air Law and Communications have been brought under one cover, making the AFE PPL course series the only series to cover RT in a properly integrated fashion.

The book integrates the necessary theoretical knowledge with the practical aspects of air law and RT, and is designed to be used alongside the other books in the PPL series. Written by an experienced aviation author and JAA Flight Instructor (FI), and overseen by an editorial team of career flying instructors and Air Traffic Controllers, this is a book designed to make to subject matter as simple and accessible as possible. Each chapter deals with its subject in a logical and practical way, and ends with a series of revision questions to aid the learning process. Illustrated throughout with photographs, diagrams and drawings (many in full colour), this is the most up-to-date work on air law and RT and is the only book to fully cover the JAR air law and operational procedures syllabus. It is also the only book of its type to correctly define the differing privileges between the UK CAA and JAR licences and to cover the recent changes to RT procedures.

PPL 5 completes the PPL Course series by taking a fresh approach to this much misunderstood and misquoted subject. As always the emphasis will be on a fresh and practical, yet thorough, approach to the subject, with accurate information and abundant illustration.

Human Factors covers the JAR PPL syllabus with an emphasis on up-to-date and relevant material, written for pilots, not doctors. The second part of the book, Flight Safety, breaks new ground in examining flight safety and airmanship issues from the PPL perspective: Why do pilots press on into deteriorating weather? What makes a pilot keep on flying until their aircraft runs out of fuel? Why are low-level aerobatics so dangerous? If you've ever read an accident report and thought, "That will never happen to me," you will find PPL5 essential reading. Pilots of every experience level will find food for thought in PPL5 Human Factors and Flight Safety and it looks set to repeat the success of the preceding volumes in the series.
