 If you're going to rewrite the POH... July 15, 2008
for godsakes at least rewrite it well! The low-quality of the writing gets in the way of extracting any useful info from this book, and is downright confusing in many places. But what rips me more than anything else is that 95% of the material in this book is from your POH. The rest of it is inapplicable for US students or isn't particularly insightful. Spend some time with your POH and you'll get the official, updated info, straight from Robinson. The POH is well-written and 100% accurate.

I decided to try about ten hours in training for piloting a helicopter. I don't intend to complete this work as of my age and the cost prohibit my considering a career as a helicpter pilot. However, as an airplane pilot I was curious. The book Robinson R22 was very helpful as it covers the preflight inspection very well with pictures and location of the varous parts. Along with good flight instruction it helps anticipate the problems of controlling a very difficult machine. I would recommend both the R22 as a good training machine and the book as a constant companion when out of the helicopter but anticipating the next lesson.
