Thinking about taking helicopter lessons? Or maybe you are sure you want to learn how to fly a helicopter but it simply exceeds your budget? Iwill show you the basics of helicopter flight using a flight simulator for your home computer - in this course you will deal with abnormal procedures and emergencies. It is helpful if you have already viewed my other course "Helicopter Flying - Basics and Normal Procedures". It's all about content, so in each lesson Iwill explain concepts and take you through the respective topic or maneuver step by step.

The training may take place in a simulator, but Iam using real-world procedures on the Robinson R44 helicopter, using all the knowledge Igained during my real helicopter flight training and my flight instructor experience. If you are a helicopter student pilot you can also use this course to improve your skills.

The helicopter used for most of the training is a basic one, a Robinson R44. This is a helicopter that is used in real-world basic flight training and the aircraft Ihave my actual flying experience in. Ithink it does not make any sense learning the basics of flight in an advanced, complex helicopter.

Flight simulator used:X-Plane

Sceneries:Quatam River, Allan Burrows, Kodiak Island, Innsbruck, Vöslau
