Private Pilot Rotorcraft Ground Syllabus Revised by Oliver Hanisch 09-2010 oliver@ 310 980 6330 This ground syllabus is covering the general principles of piston and turbine driven helicopters. References are being made to: Robinson R22 Beta 2 (for the piston aircraft) Enstrom 480B (for the turbine aircraft)  LESSON 1 6.0 Hours Ground Training Objectives This lesson will introduce the student to the basic helicopter components, systems, and instruments. Recommended Study Material and Equipment for This Lesson The R22 operator’s hand book (POH); The Enstrom 480B Operator’s Manual and Rotorcraft Flight Manual (RFM) - sections 1 and 2, the Rotorcraft Flying Handbook- chapters 1,2, 3, and 4 and the Private Pilot Test Prep- Chapter 2 and 3. Other materials may be needed for class.
