Whether you are a student pilot, a pilot, or just an aviation enthusiast, this channel and the website are for you. Be sure to check out some great articles about helicopters and all aspects of aviation at PilotTeacher.com
My love of aviation began at a very young age and the fascination of everything that flies still lives to this day. This KZbin channel is a mix of aircraft doing their thing or answering questions to some of the most commonly asked aviation questions.
My day job as a full-time helicopter pilot allows me to dive deep into the topics and bring you up close and personal with many aircraft and the more questions I get in the comments the more videos I can create for you to answer those questions.
Being able to fly is a real privilege and taking you along for the ride when I can is something that I love to do!
Enjoy!

Cyclic and collective by Shawn Coyle. He covers everything and makes it fun to read, not like FAA text book. I highly recommend it.

[@PilotTeacher]

Yea that is a good one too! Lots of great books out there so I just had to concentrate in the first few books for beginners! Phil Croucher has great books too.

[@chippyjohn1]

Principals of Helicopter Flight 2nd edition is on the purchase list. Thanks

[@PilotTeacher]

Its a great book! It blew my brain apart when I first read it hahaha

[@user-ly5cb1vb3w]

Have you read the book Sweating the metal by Alex Duncan? Non-technical, but it is a great biography of an RAF Chinook pilot that flew combat missions in Afghanistan.

[@PilotTeacher]

I have not so I guess I now have a new book to read 😊

[@baraka_romeo7569]

its very informative

[@joshuaosiris]

Dude, I was just thinking what could I read to help me before I go to school. Then I find this video. Thanks for reading my mind!

[@unkhan2167]

Share some mountain flying techniques video

[@PilotTeacher]

I don’t fly in the mountains I’m afraid.

[@stachowi]

This was fantastic... i had all of the books! Definitely can confirm your recommendations are on point!

[@PilotTeacher]

They are the most popular for a reason!!

[@kylerbelluz5352]

Thanks for all the awesome videos sir! From the education to everything else you definitely deserve more recognition! Heading to flight school early next year and I’ve learned so much thanks to you. Hope to see some more videos from around the industry. Cheers from Thunder Bay.

[@PilotTeacher]

Glad you found everything useful!! Which flight school are you going to?? I know TBay well!! Have you checked out my course for saving money at flight school? Have a look at pilotteacher.com

[@kylerbelluz5352]

@@PilotTeacher right now the plan is chinook in Abbotsford which I’m sure you’ve heard of as I’ve seen their bell 47 and their 206 in your videos, haven’t committed 100% but it’s looking like that is going to be my choice, and yes I have visited your website many times and I think I’m going to purchase your program. If you’re ever around the city and I’m here would love to buy you a beer 🍻

[@PilotTeacher]

@@kylerbelluz5352 I did my conversion there and I don’t have very good things to say about them. If you are driving through Kenora give me a shout!

[@flaviocavalcante9062]

That's great suggestion, I will buy this book.👏👏👏

[@lp1485le]

Do you have a different list for a prospective UK rotatry pilot doing the integrated training route?

[@dman0044]

I have Helicopter flying handbook,Far/Aim(2022, there is a updated of 2022) Pilot's handbook of Aeronautical Knowledge, Rod Machado's Private Pilot Hand Book. Instrument Flying Hand Book. Computer, Plotter, a knee-board. Log Book.

[@PilotTeacher]

Thats a good start buddy! Lots of great information in your hands to start your training!!

[@Vasher121]

Hey thanks for the video, silly question: is an audiobook version good? Or do I need to read it?

[@PilotTeacher]

Ive never tried an audio book so cannot say. I like regular books because i can highlight and make notes in them.

[@g-sailing4427]

Any EASA pilot recommendations?

[@PilotTeacher]

Sorry Glenn I don’t have any experience for the EASA test prep stuff so I can’t recommend anything.
