    This book consists of 13 articles, has well over 20,000 words, and includes a useful glossary. Topics covered include getting your first instructing job, conducting trial lessons, teaching emergencies, and how to deal with panicky students. it is based on Helen's personal experiences, and includes many interesting anecdotes.

      Helen Krasner has been flying for many years, and holds a Commercial Helicopter Pilot's Licence and Instructor's Rating. She also has a Private Pilot's Licence for Aeroplanes, and well over 1000 hours flying time in total. Until recently she worked as a freelance helicopter instructor, flying mainly R22s and R44s. Helen writes about helicopters and other aviation-related subjects for a number of publications, and she is also the Newsletter Editor for the BWPA (British Women Pilots' Association). She was nominated for one of the Aerospace Journalist of the Year Awards in 2004, for an article about Flying Helicopters in Russia. She has published a book about helicopter flying – The Helicopter Pilot's Companion (Crowood Press 2008), and a second book, on learning to fly helicopters, is due out in July 2011. Helen has also written and published a book about a five thousand mile walk around Britain which she undertook some years ago (Midges, Maps, and Muesli). In 2006 Helen started writing a regular column in the monthly publication Flight Training News. She contributed informative but lighthearted articles on all aspects of flying, for the most part drawing on her own experience, and almost invariably peppered with useful anecdotes from her own flying. To date she has written nearly 50 of these articles, and various people have commented on how useful they have been, and also remarked that they would make an excellent book. That is how this book came about... Helen starts by asking the all-important question: Can Anyone Learn to Fly - and she concludes that they can. The next few chapters give useful advice on those all-important price-related issues, plus finding the right airfield, flying school, and instructor. We then move on to some of the human issues related to aviation training, such as confidence problems and how to learn from one's mistakes. The later sections talk about the important milestone of 'going solo', and finally, how to cope with test nerves when you get to that crucial final flight test. Helen hopes that you will enjoy reading these articles as much as she enjoyed writing them. She would like you to feel free to email her at the address above with any comments. She apologises in advance for any repetition, and also for the large number of apparent gaps, should anyone expect this book to follow the whole Private Pilot's Licence course. It should be remembered that this is a collection of articles, written at different times during the last few years, so such things are inevitable. It should definitely not be used to replace a standard textbook and a flying instructor's briefings, but will hopefully provided additional useful and interesting information; that is all.

      This book is the second volume of Helen's proposed series of four. The first looked at learning to fly aeroplanes and helicopters and has already been published. The next book will concentrate of helicopter flying, since this is Helen's speciality, and the final volume will talk about her personal experiences as a helicopter instructor. All of them are taken from Helen's column in Flight Training News, and were originally published between 2006 and 2011 This second book starts by discussing what sort of flights a new pilot should do after gaining the coveted PPL. It then tells the story of one of Helen's longer trips, when she took off alone for France. The next two articles – Aeroplanes and Helicopters: Rules for Safe Coexistence and The Dangers of Helicopter Downwash are concerned with important safety issues. We then take a look at flying microlights as well as fixed-wing aircraft and helicopters, followed by gaining some hints on dealing with the CAA Medical department. The final four chapters should be useful to those considering a commercial aviation career, although also of general interest. They discuss how to question an apparently unfair exam result, what to do with your commercial licence, the place of women in commercial aviation, and fixed-wing versus rotary flying careers.

She was nominated for one of the Aerospace Journalist of the Year Awards in 2004, for an article about Flying Helicopters in Russia. She has published two books about helicopter flying apart from her Kindle ebooks – The Helicopter Pilot's Companion (Crowood Press 2008), and Flying Helicopters: A Companion to the PPL(H) (Crowood Press 2011).
